My mother will be setting up a Facebook group and I will link it when I know it if anyone is interested in following his treatment.

Leukemia
So this week did not go the way I expected. I had mentioned last week that my 10 year old wasn’t feeling well but I felt kind of silly being worried because none of his symptoms were a particularly big deal. Well long story short he was diagnosed with Leukemia at the end of the week. I’m writing and saying the word a lot just to try and make it seem real and not like my super healthy kid who never even had a sick doctor visit wandered into a nightmare. As I’m writing this we are on our way to St Jude Hospital in Memphis. I don’t know what will happen though in terms of prognosis everything looks positive. I’m not sure what my online time will look like. Obviously while I love this blog and all of you it’s at the bottom of my priority list. I have a lot of posts scheduled and will be checking my email so any comments or messages would be a nice distraction. I wouldn’t be shocked if I’m still reviewing some just for a mental break and a slight sense of normalcy but I just don’t know.
