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 +73

Sunday.  Kyle and Kayla Young came to visit Riley today.  They have been such good friends for him.  They came to the hospital and visited often.  They are happy and fun and would share all about what was going on in the world of high school.   Thank you sweet friends!
