15/4/10 Day 155. Thursday

Owen has gone away with his Grandparents for a few days and will be back tomorrow (Friday). He has been really well but we were told to keep him away from crowds (no school) as his neutrophils are very low. He is back into hospital for some blood tests tomorrow to make sure that he is improving. The moment that his bloods reach half that of a healthy child, the new round of chemo will start. Leukemia grows rapidly so they need to keep it in control. I do not think Owen would remember what it would feel like to be healthy after 5 months of treatment.
