Yesterday was a long day! Mia had to fast for her 9am procedure which turned into a 12pm procedure so needless to say she was not pleasant. Her spinal tap went well and they were able to administered a 2nd dose of chemo into her spinal fluid. The results from her spinal tab were basically the same as the Original which is normal being she had only one dose of chemo to the site. Other than that, she received two other chemos yesterday. They have been treating her with zofran around the clock to help with the nausea and vomiting. She was able to visit the playroom and enjoys walking the halls. She has met new people to say NO to and has found a new love for cheese which she requests often. We are hanging in there and the boys are adjusting to this temporary life. They FaceTime with her and us every morning and night. Grandma has been teaching them different them different Christmas carols to sing to her each morning. I was fortunate to spend 3 hours with them on Monday. I was able to explain to Ryan that we would be here for a few weeks, and that leukemia was the cause for all of her fevers. He didn't mention Christmas which was good because we don't have an answer for that yet. I also asked if he wanted to come to visit and his response was; The hospital takes too long to get to and there is way too much traffic! Lol. Both boys are doing well and Mike will be home this weekend to visit and spend time! Thanks for your continued prayers!!
