A.L.L.

They have found out the type of Leukemia it is. It is called A.L.L. or Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. It is an aggressive and rapid growing type. The Doctor said those are usually more likely to be cured then the slower ones. They asked when he started having symptoms and Dad told them January and the doctor said it probably has not even been that long. They will probably start treatment very soon. They do know however that he will be in his Apartment for at least a month. My Mom and Tina are already starting to rearrange his room to make it more comfortable for my Dad.

Mark and Claudia,
Hello from the Cook family. We just got word about the cancer and are very worried about you. We are glad to know what has caused the problems, so now they can start helping you to get better. We have a cute little 7 yr old who is very concerned and worried that you are going to be alright. We told her you are a fighter! She said to tell you that she misses you along with us all. If there is anything we can do please let us know and you are in our prayers and we love you! Jess, Sara and girls
