I wanted to update you all on Luke. They started chemo last night. Atlanta automatically does chemo for 18 weeks where Boston would only do it on an as needed basis. He has a lot of fluid again. He has had three more blood transfusions. and needs oxygen. They put him in the ICU yesterday because the nurses were really nervous about his breathing. They think they caught this early and are confident he will beat it. It is called PTLD and is "very rare". Post transplant lymphoproliferative disease. They are treating it like non Hodgkins Lymphoma to be more aggressive. Thanks for all the kind words. I pass them all on to my daughter. She is a trooper in all of this. I honestly don't know how she does it.

I have two sons, 26 months and 4 months. I can't begin to imagine the difficulties your daughter and her family are facing. What area of Atlanta do they live in? I know they are relatively new to the city, so if they need anything, please let me know.

Wow, I just read from page 1 to the end of this thread. It's heartbreaking to hear the lastest news on Luke.
I'm sure he has the best care right now.
My thoughts go out to you and your family. I know it is totally consuming, as we have a little neice who has fought for her life since she was born at 28 weeks.
Keep the faith.
