    Leukemia

    Surely, this only happens to other people... But, Dalynn and I had been wondering if something was up for a couple of weeks. Course, you never want to even entertain the thought that your kid has cancer.

    But, he does. Cole has Leukemia. I wonder if you're supposed to capitalize that?

    So, there's the bad. Here's the good.

    Cole has the most common and treatable form that they see at CHKD (where we are). It's called ALL, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. It's treatable mainly in outpatient over a period of 3.5 years. There generally isn't a need for a bone-marrow transplant. We'll probably be here in the hospital for a week and a half, and they're talking about maybe sending us home this weekend (yay!).

    That's all for now, but I'll try and get up some more specific stuff later on.
