Spent last night and today with Blake. It is truly awesome seeing him laugh and smile. He is in great spirits most of the time.

Last night, he ate half a hotdog, half of a large french fries container, a bite of an Arby's Roast Beef sandwich, and drank a Dr. Pepper and some Gatoraid... And kept it down!

Today, it was 2 hash browns for breakfast and a fry from Chick Filet to go along with 2 Mountain Dews, a gatoraid and half a Dr. Pepper... And he kept it all down!

They are concerned about how his spleen showed up on his CT Scan. He also has a "blood spot" on his lung and in his brain (causing the headaches). They are not worried about any of it and suspect it was all caused by the low platelet count. He's getting a MRI on his brain tonight... at 9:00, so results are probably a few days away for that.

The doctors aren't worried... His potassium level is going back up... so that's a great thing also.. Another bone marrow check to come Friday...

More to come when there's more to come
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
