I am the mother of Daniel. He was diagnosed on 9/21/07. He went into remission 10/5/07. Through all his treatment he has remained unphased. He is a happy boy.

One of his favorites is Rock Band. He likes the drums. Also he loves bowling and camping. He is in an Early Learner program at school where he receives physical, occupational and speech therapy. A year ago he didn't speak and now he speaks non stop, argues with his brothers and sings to his favorites pop songs.
Last year on 9/29/09 he relapsed. They initially said it was in his central nervous system which would require more intense chemo plus radiation to his brain this time. A couple days later they told me it was in his bone marrow and would require the same chemo, radiation to his full body as well as a transplant. His three siblings were checked to see if they were a match and not one was. They then put him into the national and international registry and still there is not match. Many friends, family members, and strangers who have been touched by his story have joined the bone marrow registry.
He has had more setbacks with this round of chemotherapy. He has been hospitalized for chemo administrations as well as complications. Through it all he has remained happy and carefree. He loves his nurses and every roommate he has he wants to befriend them no matter their age or sex. He goes into the hospital knowing he will be getting medicine and fluid. He helps with his vitals as well as his medication administration. He is a trouper.
