April 9th, 2016

Unfortunately, Mia hasn't been feeling good for the past week and a half. What started as a stomach bug with vomiting and diarrhea is still continuing. We thought we were in the clear the past two days but then she started vomiting at 3:00am this morning and continued to about 9:00am. She must have vomited at least 8 times if not more as we lost count. We think it's related to reintroducing dairy but it could be a coincidence and we really have no clue. Unfortunately the on-call doctors at CHOP weren't much help as far as to why this is still happening. We will call her doctors at the clinic on Monday unless she starts vomiting again, and then we may have to take a trip to Philly. Luckily, she has been keeping down some water and saltines.

After speaking with our Pediatrician this morning, she decided to order a stool sample to test for various bacterial infections. Hoping it shows nothing, but it will be great to get confirmation of that because this is way out of character for her.

She returns to the clinic on Tuesday for her monthly IV chemo and a spinal tap along with starting steroids. Please say an extra prayer that this ends for her soon! Thank you!
