He’s Back!!!

After 2 weeks of a really angry sad little man, we finally have him back.

He went from this a week ago to….

ezz

this. My happy sweet little boy. I couldn’t even get him to go outside when he was on the steroids, it causes him a lot of leg pain.

And then the feeling you get when you get him back.

Yes, he really is that pale. But the sparkle is back in those blue eyes!

On Monday we start the 2nd half of Delayed Intensification, this part is supposedly the hardest. I have been told blood and platelet transfusions are common.

On Monday we go to the clinic and will be there for the vast majority of the day (pray for our patience and serenity.) Then that Friday he will have another spinal tap with chemo. We will be in the clinic every day for 2 weeks …. yikes. Will update Ezra’s blog as we go through these next 2 weeks. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

  1. Oh I am so sorry that he (and you) have to go through all of this. You are amazingly strong though and it keeps him going I'm sure. I cannot imagine. He has an amazing smile and he still has that inner sparkle - kids are amazing aren't they? We keep him in our prayers every day. I pray that things will go smoothly the next few weeks and that he gets some reprieve to feel good and have some fun.
    Love and hugs mama,
    Tricia :)
