Justin is experiencing severe leg pain so we had to increase his morphine. He tried to get up on his own when his brothers were here yesterday. I was happy to see him trying, but it broke my heart when his legs gave out. He is not able to stand or walk at all.

Our oncologist said this ability will return as the chemo continues to attack and kill the leukemia in his bone marrow. Justin will also have physical therapy each day.

If Justin stays fever free, we could go home as early as next Tuesday and continue chemo on an outpatient basis. If the fever returns, we will need to stay and have his blood regularly checked.

Justin is currently opening cards and gifts from his kindergarten class. I love that we are seeing him smile. 

Thank you for continued prayers.
