I was Chris' wife/caregiver & this is the medical blog I wrote during his treatment. Short history: dx in July 2010, no initial bone marrow involvement, did 5 rounds hyper-cvad protocol. Found out he is in relapse/refractory status with involvement in his chest, spleen, inguinal & throat lymph nodes, bone marrow, spine & brain in January 2011 when we went to MD Anderson for treatment. The two different rounds of chemo Chris got at MDA could not put him in remission; he died of leukemia/lymphoma on March 18th, 2011, an astonishing and horrific 8 months after his diagnosis.

counts are up, moving to PICU

So far the only info I have for Chris today are his counts that he texted me this morning.  He also told me there are orders to move him to PICU.  
Our truck was driver's side window was broken and the GPS was stolen out of it so I'm waiting for the window to get fixed before I can go to the hospital.  The bag that Chris normally has in his hospital room with him but was in the truck since there isn't much room in a ICU room for stuff did NOT get taken and for that I am very relieved.  It had some of Chris' sketchbooks and Magnus' baby book so I would have been very very upset if that had been taken.  Windows can be replaced and GPS systems aren't a necessity.  
At any rate here are his counts:
