Blake went for a little walk today... He actually walked himself (with Physical Therapy's Help) down the short stretch of hallway and back.

He continues to get sick to his stomach, but as they ween him off the Methadone (and Adavan) as well as the Anti-fungal drug and Antibiotics, he should get more strength back as well as quit getting sick.

They hope he'll continue to improve and they are awaiting his white blood count to go up to a good level. Right now, he still has no real infection white cells developing, but there are no apparent leukemic cells either (as of yet)... Once his white counts go back up (hopefully this week), Blake can get the Central Lines (Hickman line) inserted in his chest and removed from his leg.
We would like to thank everyone who has donated to the Blake Wayland Leukemia Fund through this website, and those who participated in the sanctioned fundraisers
