Mouth Sores

What a trooper Alec is, even with all his mouth sores he continued to try and drink. He still has not eaten anything but continues to try and drink. Several attempts have been made trying to insert the feeding tube and have been unsuccessful.
His plastic tent breathing treatments are still going on, 8 hours a day he spends in this plastic tent, and he is such a trooper he does it. His ANC is still 0 which is to be expected. His body is covered in rashy itchy skin. His skin is also peeling, like a sun tan peel. Our friend Hannah made Alec a beautiful card which I plan on scanning and posting by tomorrow night for all to see, what an artist! She drew a picture of Jack and it looks just like him :0)
Well I must run, keep the faith.
Love,
Amy

Hi Amy and Alec,

we were hoping you recognized Jack in the picture! Yes, Hannah loves to draw, and of course dogs are one of her favorites. We hope that Alec can continue to make his way through this, we know how hard it must be on your whole family. We saw Stanley's mom too when we came up to to the 4th floor. Hopefully another mom to talk to on those long days. We sure miss seeing his smiling face out and around, but that will come very soon. He's a trooper AND a fighter!
