I’m trying to stay stress free now as much as possible. It’s so hard because almost 4 months ago my now 5 year old was diagnosed with Leukemia. He’s doing really well even though we are in the hospital right now but we are hoping he is in remission. He’s supposed to get a bone marrow biopsy on Friday but he’s fighting a virus right now so we may have to wait even longer😭 It’s so hard trying to keep it together and trying to make sure my high risk pregnancy is ok. I’m traveling 2 1/2 hours 3x or more a week for him and also for me. I start ultrasounds once a week along with nst’s next week. It’s crazy to think I had my 2nd baby boy at 32 weeks. I turn 32 weeks on Friday. Pray for me guys🙏🏼🙏🏼

@virgosweetness, so the weekend after 4th of July he got pneumonia and was put on meds. He just wasn’t looking himself we suspected maybe he was anemic. We made an appointment and was seen August 11th. Our pediatrician thought the same when he saw him. They ran his hemoglobin which came back a 2. They sent us over to the hospital to get further testing and we did. Maybe an hour later the pediatrician called us to come back to the office. We knew it must have been really bad because their office was already closed. When we got there he told us that his hemoglobin being 2 and other labs coming back it was consistent with Leukemia. We were rushed by ambulance to our children’s hospital which is 2 hours away and that Monday which was August 14th they did a bone marrow biopsy and confirmed that it was Leukemia B-Cell. He has the most common kind. After 30 days they want you to be in remission but for his case he still had .054% of leukemia cells so we were changed to the very high risk group. But we are hoping that he is in remission this time. If not he’s going in for a transplant. I’ve talked and seen other moms going through this journey. Some kids show no sign what so ever until they broke a bone or fracture something. The doctor couldn’t tell me if it was genetic or how long he’s had it. He was a healthy 4 year old boy until he got pneumonia and everything went down the drain since. My cousin got her kids’ hemoglobin checked to make sure it wasn’t low. I think that’s one of the biggest signs and also being tired at the same time but also those are signs of being anemic as well. I wouldn’t want my worst enemy going through this. My son just turned 5 in November 3 months into treatment and he’s acting as normal as possible. He doesn’t throw tantrums or act out the ordinary. We’ve had a ton of hospital stays for only being in treatment for almost 4 months but nothing crazy serious.
Not to be so nosy but how did they discover that your son had luekemia for all us moms who have no idea about the disease
@twice_blessed, I am so sorry for your sisters passing. Thank you for your prayers!
@emijayden_7 Unfortunately she passed in June but she was already sick with colitis before the cancer. But the constant trips to the hospital and watching her suffer were the worst so I can understand. I was also pregnant at the time of all this trying to help get her back and forth. Praying really hard for you and your family.
Wow such a brave momma. Much love and prayers your way hun
