It is great that you did and took the initiative to learn as much as possible
on the subject.  Not all parents do that.  Our doctors have even pointed that
out to us.  

A good bit of the treatment is done at home with oral meds that are time
sensitive, have to be taken without food, etc, things that as a parent, you
need to be on top of.  

I always want to know as much as possible about everything and how everything
works.  Having all the data from day one - on the entire treatment schedule
was very helpful to me. 

BTW, we get a two week break from treatments and then start Interim
Maintanence II possibly next week if counts are good.  That is the final phase
before Maintanence, when things should start getting more normal.
