Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)
is a fast-growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow. In AML, the bone marrow makes many unformed cells called blasts. Blasts normally develop into white blood cells that fight infection. However, the blasts are abnormal in AML. They do not develop and cannot fight infections. The bone marrow may also make abnormal red blood cells and platelets. The number of abnormal cells (or leukemia cells) grows quickly. They crowd out the normal red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets the body needs.

Day + 30

Saturday.  I wanted to document Riley's bedroom door. Brenna made sure that Riley knew how happy we all were to have him home!  Sweet sister!   Bryant also made a sign for the bathroom door (which is right next door to his bedroom) that said,   "only for Riley!".  Thanks guys for making sure Riley is taken care of!
