Malcolm has officially been in the hospital for a month now (Round 5 started on Nov 17) and he will be here for at least one more day. His ANC is inching upwards and was 132 today. Platelets were 324 and hemoglobin was 78.
Some of you may recall that we attended the tree lighting ceremony a couple of weeks ago. Click on the link to watch a video of it on YouTube. We are very happy to say that Isaac, the official tree lighter, is no longer resident in hospital. He has a relatively rare form of leukemia (JMML) and has basically been in hospital since May - he arrived here from Toronto Sick Kids shortly after we arrived in July and was here until early December without a single break out. It was amazing to see his family (who do not live locally) cope so well with such a difficult situation - it made our situation seem trivial in many ways.
