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.

Another step to normal

Riley went back to school today!! Although he officially went back in mid October, he mostly worked in the library with online school. Today he is a regular student. Teachers and classes and books.
It has been a full year!
I can hardly believe it. Looking back the year has been long and difficult, but somehow fast at the same time.
I think the last couple of months have been good for Riley. Time to adjust back to a real school schedule before diving back into real school. Online school has been a blessing, because it has been his only option. But Riley thrives with student and teacher interaction. He is a great student and I'm thrilled for him to get back to real school life.
