Devastated.

I am not even sure what to write at this point but Matthew's leukemia has returned.  If there was a worst case scenario, this is it.  A large number of brain lesions were discovered on Matthew's brain during a precautionary CT scan today.  I can barely type this as my fingers are numb and if it turns into an obscenity laced tirade, well so be it. 

For the past few days, Matthew has been feeling very lathargic and has also been nauseous.  After one trip to the ER yesterday and concerned with the lack of improvement last night, we talked to the oncologist at CMH and came in.  The rest has been like getting sucker punched in the gut. This was supposed to an f'ing virus, which btw, whenever there is some sort of illness that can't be explained, its always called an f'ing virus.

Tomorrow morning, we have an MRI and a bone marrow to try to confirm the diagnosis after which, we will develop a plan of attack.  This is going to be an incredibly difficult fight.  Against much greater odds than the first.  If you are owed any miracles, now is the time to cash them in.
