I'm sure whatever it was that they are treating must have made the baby pretty miserable, but sheesh.

That is so sad...you can't explain to an infant why it has to suffer so much.

My mom asked this morning if he should still be on the Tehillim list -- I'll tell her yes.

Yeah, their biggest worry is that it will damage his long-term growth.

A baby I know had Wiskott Aldritch Disease, and has had chemo, as well as a bone marrow transplant, and he is all of 8 months old. It is a disease that is very rare, and somewhat like leukemia. He made it through, though, and the chemo was the least of their worries. It was hard, but the whole process saved his life.

I just wanted to give an update about Yohai. He has been off of chemo for almost a week now, and is doing much better
