Mia did great today at the clinic! She received her spinal tap and IV chemo and did great! She will start steroids today, which we always dread but again things could be worse. Eating has still been an issue but everyday is different. There really isn't anything that she will consistently, even sausage!
Her neutrophil count dropped again, this is her ability to fight off infection. Her neutrophil count was 794 today. Just to give you an idea, a healthy child's neutrophil count is between 3000-4000. Luckily, she has missed strep, a viral infection, and croup from Logan. Even though we are always extra cautious about her staying healthy, we will continue to be on alert for any fevers. We will repeat her blood work in 2 weeks, and then will discuss any medication changes.
Mia and the boys had a great Valentine's Day! We look forward to celebrating Ryan's birthday next week. Last year, we had to leave for Chop as she spiked a fever on his actual birthday so we are looking forward to an uneventful day for him!
We hope everyone is having a great week!
