Noah woke up with a sore throat

Noah woke up with a sore throat this morning and no other symptoms. I have had a sore throat only on one side (no other symptoms) since Friday…Covid negative.

This evening he spiked a fever.….called clinic and was told to bring him into the ER. Praying his ANC is good and he isn’t Neutropenic…or we will be inpatient…most likely through Thanksgiving. His LP will be rescheduled due to this. I will keep y’all posted.

Symptoms

ALL symptoms start when leukemia cells crowd out normal blood cells in bone marrow. The types of symptoms your child has will depend on the numbers of cancer cells and healthy blood cells.

Children with B-cell ALL may:

Bleed or bruise more easily than usual

Feel very tired

Get infections more often

Lose their appetite

Other symptoms include:

Bone or joint pain

Limping

Fever

Pale skin

Red or purple spots called petechiae on the skin

Swollen lymph nodes in the neck, underarms, or groin

If the cancer cells travel to your child’s liver and spleen, these organs can grow large enough to make the belly swell. In some boys, the testicles can also grow larger.
