 Ian writing a note |
| About three weeks ago after church we were all upstairs and Ian was standing up and Mom noticed this horrible bruise on Ian's arm and then she noticed multiple bruises and these tiny specks of red all over his body. She did not say anything but put all of us to bed but Ian stayed downstairs with mom and dad.The next morning she brought us to the doctor and kept all of us except Ian in the waiting room.Well about a hour we left the doctors office and Mom told us Ian had Leukemia. Ian went to the Baton's Children's Hospital in an ambulance with dad and we followed after. We stayed at the hospital for two weeks. Ian is so brave and we were all so happy to come home. The nurses and doctors have been amazing but living in a hospital for two weeks is miserable and it is not easy to do. People have been helping us so much and it has been so nice to know people are praying for Ian. Ian has been amazing and we would never have expected for him to be so brave. Ian has been eating well and looks healthier and not as pale as he was at the hospital. Now Ian can easily become sick so we are having to be very clean. Ian won't be able to see anybody except his family until the ten days are up but we will still have to be careful when Ian goes anywhere for the next three years. Ian has chemo on Monday but they told us we should bring overnight bags in case he runs fever and it would be a pleasant surprise to come early.Living in a hospital for two weeks is not easy to do and every day just is so slow it is like one day never seems to end. Either that or it is so fast that you don't even have lunch or dinner and you just have some yogurt around eight at night. |
