(: Read More Zane's immune system is not improving very quickly, but his first physical therapy session went great and we found a new part-time nanny for him. Read More Zane's immune system is still hurting, but getting slowly better. And he starts physical therapy on Friday. Today the Make-A-Wish folks came and we finished up the play-scape, and it is the COOLEST! Read MoreZane's still doing great, ANC was 1330 (for those keeping score) yesterday. Read MoreGreat news, Zane's strong enough to begin his last hard-core chemo push. Read MoreThe new play-scape is in, and it's the COOLEST DAMN THING! Oh, and Zane's health is doing great too. Read MoreLooking pretty good. We're staying one more night, but will almost certainly be coming home tomorrow. Read MoreZane is in the hospital with a low fever and some goo in his lungs, nothing serious we hope. Read More(by Kate) Friday's ANC was very low (380), but treatment was not delayed, and this week's steroids should boost those numbers right up. Read More(by Kate) No fever this morning, so we're in the clear. Still a low ANC, but he's all better. (: Read More(by Kate) Zane has a fever, but he's not being admitted to the hospital. Read More(by Kate) Still great news, his counts are great! He's completely evil and eating the furniture and not sleeping, but he's not getting sick and going into the hospital anytime soon! Read More(by Kate) Ok, this one is just for fun, and barely mentions Zane at all: The Make-A-Wish Foundation is going to build Zane a deluxe play-scape in the back-yard!! Read More(by Kate) Good news today. Not all we'd hoped, but better than last week. Read More(by Kate) Things are getting a little weird again, so here's the latest update. The good news is he's not sick, the bad news is his immune system is dangerously suppressed, so he may well be soon. Read MoreWe're Back! I apologize. Due to some accounting and contact errors of mine, the site had been shut down for a couple of weeks. I've started a very slow process to move to different sites. Zane pictures are already getting posted up at a Picasa web site. Read More There are a few new pictures of Zane in the photo section. Grandma Melinda came out for a quick visit and took some nice shots of Sam and Zane hanging out. Hopefully we'll be able to post more pics from this trip soon. Read More (by Kate) I think this is our last Zane update for a while. Things are happening much more slowly now, and we're settling in for the long haul. ___ Read More(by Kate) Zane is doing better with a lot of anti-nausea medicine, and starting to walk on his own a little more. Read More (by Kate) Zane isn't doing as well as he has been. He's energetic and alert, but eating almost nothing and really moody. He did take a couple solo steps today, though! Read More(by Kate) A great day, with Zane as high energy as we've seen him in ages! Maybe a little too high in fact... And we found a good semi-nanny (it rolls off the tongue easier than part-time nanny). Read More(by Kate) Fantastic news! Zane's chances of recovery have been increased to 90% after how he's responded to the first batch of chemo! And it looks like we only have about 4 1/2 more months (instead of the 8 or 9 we expected) of chemo before we enter our "maintenance" phase, which is where everything gets a lot easier. Read More(by Kate) A nice calm day. Sam and I both a little ragged from trying to work around not having a part-time nanny yet. Read More(by Kate) Houston, we have remission! I repeat, we have remission! We don't find out how thorough the remission is till Friday, but Zane is definitely in remission! Read More(by Kate) We were supposed to find out about his marrow test results and his next phase of treatment today, but didn't, so hopefully tomorrow. Read More(by Kate) Another uneventful day, but everything's getting better and better. Read More(by Kate) Another good day, no big news. Zane's walking better and better. Read More(by Kate) Surgery went well, and we're home again. Blood counts looking very good! Read More(by Kate) A great night and a great day! Steroids have worn off really quickly! Read More(by Kate) A good day for Zane. He's feeling some aches in his joints, but is much livelier and playful (when he's not being Hulk Baby). Read More(by Kate) Zane feeling pretty good today, but his hair is falling out finally. Read More(by Kate) Zane had chemo today, and his blood counts came back looking great! He's feeling like poop today, but his MARROW is feeling like a million bucks. (: (by Kate) A good day over-all. Found a great babysitter, and got a good lead on a part-time nanny. Read More(by Kate) (by Kate) A good day at the hospital, no fever or high blood pressure. Not going home yet, though. (by Kate) Back in the hospital - again. Nothing serious, just precautionary. But the bone marrow is looking really good. Read MoreA wish list for Zane, and a very funny baby wig site. Read More (by Kate) We're home again, yay! Zane doing ok, but he's on blood-pressure medication now. Read More(by Sam) A doctor said that Zane looks like he'll be ready to come home tomorrow. If he's still clear of fever (no sign since Sunday), can eat (he's done that since Thursday), drink (last Wednesday) and poop (last Saturday), he's coming home!
