Yes, I remember your post on that subject.  How long was her treatment?  It
seems it averages between 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 years - girls typically get less
treatment.

Right - it seems kids with DS have a higher risk of getting ALL, but also do
particularly well is getting rid of it.

We are on month 3 right now - just started a new phase.  Depending on the
phase, there are some daily meds he has to take at home.  

I have entire care plan on printed out pieces of paper that outline the phases
and what happens on what day.  

Given everything that has happened, he is doing great and headed in the right
direction.  That is all we can ask for.
