   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.
