June 7th, 2016

Unfortunately, Mia will not go home this week. Her neutrophil count dropped lower today. With leukemia cells still present and her low white blood count it's safer to remain in the hospital and on IV antibiotics until her counts recover. She will get her biopsy here on Monday. Depending on what they see under the microscope they may begin the next cycle on Monday.

Physical therapy started this morning and she will continue to get services Monday-Friday. She's been having pain in her right foot and is hesitant to put pressure on it. They are trying to determine if it's neuropathy or pain. It wasn't easy, but we managed to get her walking with assistance. Boy is she stubborn!

Being she can't leave her hospital room, 2 special visitors waved to her from the window this morning. Elmo and super groover were happy to blow kisses and send presents her way! She was so excited!
