Things are slowing down

Things are now slowing down for Shivam. He feels tired almost all the time and is sleeping a lot more than usual. His legs have also started to become weak. Infact, he was not able to climb the stairs in the evening without one of us holding both his hands. And today was just the 2nd day of the treatment. His crankiness has also increased and he has become very touchy. Even a small "no" can make his throw tantrums like crazy.

We are trying hard to keep our smiles up and not lose temper or show our frustration to him.

"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm."
-Winston Churchill

Sometimes we run, sometimes we wobble and sometimes we may just keep up with the pace....It's all okay and the journey for getting things better has begun. You will have complete victory and Shivam will be back in your arms happy and bubbly.

We pray for Shivam everyday & I believe that this is a severe testing period for all of us who feel like family to you all. Keep the faith & smile...you've pulled through harder days, this is not going to be so hard comparatively.
Lots of love to all 4 of you

May God give strength for Shivam...Please dont say that you guys are loosing courage..
not only leukemia..even if kids get normal cold and fever..they tend to become so weak and cannot run and climb steps ..
May be Shivam is becoming a bit weak due to the treatment and medicines..but he will gain strength in no time when the treatment starts showing miracles..
he will start recovering ...soo dont worry ..
Have Courage ..it is the most greatest thing which gives us bundles of hope and Confidence..Good Luck
