Today was an ok day for Noah.

Today was an ok day for Noah. He is very moody today and keeps getting frustrated easily. He pushed through school today even though he did not want to sign on because of how he is feeling. No videos yet today, because he isn’t feeling up to it…! Hopefully, he will want to update you guys himself later.

Tomorrow he has another LP (lumbar puncture) with IT (Intrathecal chemotherapy). Nothing to eat or drink again after midnight and back to the clinic at 8:30am.

Please keep him in your prayers and I will keep you all updated.

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.
