Guest guest Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Hi, I want to introduce myself as a new member to a group I really wish I didn't have to join. I am Carla with 2 daughters and . is 13 years old with DS and Autism. On Feb 5th she was diagnosed with leukemia, ALL. She is still in the hospital as of now and they say she will be there at least thru the induction phase of chemo. I am just learning all the terms so bear with me please. On her day 15 bone marrow test she showed less than 5% leukemia cells so she is in remission. However we are struggling with many infections and one was very serious. Her count just never seems to recover and she has had many transfusions lately. I am just feeling really discouraged about her ever getting to come home. Please I would love to hear any stories of what to expect. This is all so new that I just don't have a clue and the doctors sometimes are pretty general.
