The oncologist just came in and after reviewing all his tests she determined he DOES NOT have leukemia! Praise the lord, I am so relieved I don't even know how to react. He has what is called HUS or hemolytic uremic syndrome, caused by ecoli. It has destroyed some of his red blood cells but the doctor believes the damage has been done and he is on the road to recovery. She doesn't foresee any long term damage done to his kidneys since he has rebounded so quickly. He still needs more blood since his hematocrit is so low. They will be changing his medical team to the kidney specialists and possibly moving us off the cancer floor....yippee! Get me out of here.
They are continuing to monitor him really close and I realize we aren't out of the woods yet but things are looking up at the moment. He's really sleepy right now but I know he would love to see visitors. They expect him to be at the hospital for a week at the most. I will keep you all posted but please know your positive thoughts and prayers have most definitely worked! I am overwhelmed by the love and support, it is truly a powerful force and Randy and I love you all so very much. I will post more information as I get it.

What an emotional roller coaster..... So glad to hear that sweet little Hank is on the road to recovery... I love that little munchkin with all of my heart. We'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers that Hank gets better with lightening speed and that you guys can have the comfort and strength that you need!! love you
I could not be happier! Although it's still scary that he has to go through any of this...I just know he'll fight off this ugly thing and be back to his old self again!
Be there soon!! So much love to you!
Such great news! Rusty was convinced it was HUS as soon as he read about it after one of the "conference calls". So glad things are looking up "and we love each other very much"
Annie that is AWESOME news! I haven't been blogging for a long time so I apologize for being tuned in late. I found out this morning that he was in the hospital and left you a message at home. When (and I WON'T take no for an answer) can we bring in some dinner for your family. Please let me know when you are home and what day would be best. I'll keep bugging you till I get a date. Our prayers are continually with your family and sweet Hank for a speedy recovery.
Annie I am so glad that things are okay. I hate seeing, hearing and even reading the word leukemia and am so grateful that Hank does not have it. My prayers will be with you and your family as Hank recovers.
PRAISE THE LORD!!! I can't even imagine what you've been through the past 24 hours. Just know that I love you and can be there for you at the drop of a hat. Stay strong Hank! We love you , buddy!
I am so relieved and so grateful!!! I can't even imagine how you have felt the last 24 hours. Can't wait to see Hank back to his normal, wonderful little self. {HUGS)
