Chase is Easing into School

Chase is continuing ease into kindergarten and appears to be well-adjusted for the moment. Tomorrow is picture day for his class and we’re hoping that Chase will be able to participate. He seemed to have a slight fever this afternoon, which his Pediatrician was concerned could indicate an infection of some type. We will have to monitor this very closely, because if it happens to be related to an infection of his catheter, this could be a very serious setback and preclude administering the ANP treatments for an extended period of time.

We also learned through a specialized test, referred to as “Natural Killer” (NK cell function test) that his immune system appears to be compromised. This test assesses the ability of his body to identify and purge itself of cancerous cells. We were advised by his nutritionist to conduct this test and, based upon the results, to broaden our supplement plan to include Vitamin C, Selenium and a complex type of mushroom extract (more pills for Chase, fortunately two of these come in liquid form).

We are praying that it is nothing serious and that Chase is ok to attend school again tomorrow and participate in his kindergarten picture day! We appreciate your ongoing support and prayers! Chase could certainly use them today as we lift him up in his challenge.

Love,John & Carol Sammut
