Fever Free – The Amazing Noah

As of 5pm Noah has been fever free. He is also feeling better and has energy. He has been sitting up and talking….! He even walked with me in the driveway for a few minutes to get some fresh air into his lungs and his body moving. He still is very weak and shakey from laying down for almost 24 hours but overall starting to feel better.

I read all of your well wishes to him and he wanted to make a video for you all. I hope from here on out he continues to feel better!

Thank you to everyone who has reached out…you have no clue how much you are all appreciated.

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.
