Such a great update for Kyle! Even though the technicians weren't as good I'm glad you were able to find a supervisor that could help :hugs I hope Katie is being an awesome sister along the way, I hope to hear many more fantastic updates and you will all be in my thoughts and prayers

Kyle update from this morning! Thank you for keeping him in your thoughts and prayers!

Hello everyone!
I know I haven't written much, but there hasn't been much to write. Kyle has been in a fantastic mood and full of energy all week. We did have to have his blood drawn on Monday. Remember how I said we haven't been thrilled with the base lab? Well Kyle had to be stuck 4 times!!! After 3 times, they found a supervisor, who got his blood in about 30 seconds. It was really frustrating. Kyle did great and even though I would have gladly let him kick the technician, he remained calm the whole time. We were also able to get Kyle and my flu shots on Monday. Kyle's blood counts were really good this week, which is good with this change in weather and the cold/crud that has started going around. So far, Kyle is staying healthy.
We have the touch-a-truck event tomorrow, so we are looking forward to that. Overall, things are going well. Blood draw and counts this coming Monday. Kyle's next chemo and ultrasound will be on Oct 10th.
We hope you all have a great weekend!

I feel embarrassed to ask, but I never saw the very first updates you posted. What kind of cancer does Kyle have?

No, I was wrong, here is a post from May where she says what Kyle has. Different kid on BYC has Leukemia, and I got the two mixed up. :/

This is the email I got with the report from Kyle's appt today. Thank you so much for keeping Kyle and his family in your thoughts and prayers! Hello everyone. Well we do have results. First, the pathology results confirmed that Kyle did have a Wilms Tumor. It was most likely stage 2, but the oncologist did mention it could be late stage 1. Either way, the treatment is the same. There is another factor with Wilms Tumors and that has to do with fast growing cells verses...

First, the pathology results confirmed that Kyle did have a Wilms Tumor. It was most likely stage 2, but the oncologist did mention it could be late stage 1. Either way, the treatment is the same. There is another factor with Wilms Tumors and that has to do with fast growing cells verses slower growing. His were not fast growing so this is considered "Favorable Histology." All of those factors lead to this.... No radiation needed!!! "Very" curable!!! And a lighter chemo plan. These are all very positive things. If your child has to get cancer, these are all best case scenario. So we are rejoicing with this information. We spoke with both the radiation oncologist and the pediatric oncologist today. The general plan for treatment is 21 weeks of chemotherapy, starting [/COLOR]on Tuesday [COLOR=222222]. They will only be using 2 chemo drugs, so that is also very good. It will all be out-patient, and only once a week. Given this plan, Kyle will be done with treatment by his 4th birthday. We were concerned that Kyle would put up a fight to go to the hospital and see doctors today, but instead he was in a happy mood and never complained about being there... Proving again how strong he is. At the appointment this morning, they did weigh him. He is down about four pounds from before this all started, but given everything he went through, we are happy to feed him whatever food he wants.

As happy as he is, we ask for prayers for continued healing of the surgical area. His only restriction is no "strenuous activity" for 4 weeks. It's only been 1 week and he is a little hard to contain. I can't imagine that he will be able to be contained after like 3 weeks, but we'll do our best. He keeps proving the doctors wrong with how fast he's healing. I will probably not write another update for a few days but we appreciate your continued prayers and support. [/COLOR]Tuesday [COLOR=222222] will be a whole new step in the journey. We hope everyone has a great weekend![/COLOR]
