Please understand?

I hope you all understand why we must exclude ourselves from the public eye?

It is one thing to not want to become ill... and another to know that if you expose your child to germs/virus, he could possibly die from a common cold!!

His immune system is totally depressed. His white blood count (wbc) is 0.39... it is supposed to be 4.90 which is a normal level. His neutropinic level is at 0.18 which is 180. That is supposed to be at over 1000, and the danger zone is 500 or under... Jaden is so far under he can't even be exposed to fresh veg., flowers, or fruit. (We are thankful it came up from 0.03!)

Crazy as it is... we hope you all know that we are trying to save our son the agony of dieing from an illness other than his cancer. The Chemo is working... praise the Lord!!

Currently we struggle with low grade temps... However; Jaden is still our little trooper!! We thank God for the Doctors, and the grace He gives us!

We also ask that you pray for us, as cabin fever is setting in! Being trapped in a hospital room for a month, and now home is hard on all of us mentally....and spiritually. Our faith is in the Lord, and we know our lives are in His hand!
Love in Christ
