Tuesday12/2-We learn that his heart is enlarged and that there is tons of fluid in his right lung. Bone Marrow biopsy along with more lab work and chest x-rays.
Wednesday 12/3-Central pick line put in near his heart and fluid pulled from his right lung.

We are told that he has ALL-acute lymphoblastic leukemia and will start treatment tomorrow. 4-6 weeks of chemotherapy. He should be in remission at the end of treatment. We are moved out of ICU to a regular pediatric room.
Friday 12/5-First day of treatment...we are optimistic and need everyone to keep us in their thoghts.

Karen and Jerry,
My heart goes out to all of you during this difficult time. It brings back some good and some bad memories of my own. I will be lifting you up in prayer as God is a faithful God and is with us no matter where we are or no matter what we are going through. If there is anything you need done here at DMS or anything that you need me to do for you at the hospital, just let me know.

Karen, Jerry, & Gentry-
Although we have lost touch a bit over the last few years, I want you all to know that you will always be a part of my Wichita "family".
It broke my heart to hear what you all have been going through in recent weeks; however, I have been and will continue to lift up your family in my prayers.
Take care and God bless you all.
Love you,
Kristina Nelson
