Good News!!!


Kate's cerebrospinal fluid had no evidence of cancer so she is considered to be standard risk ALL as opposed to high risk. She had her port place 2 days ago and tolerated the surgery very well. She has had 1 dose of intrathecal (in the spinal canal) chemotherapy and 1 dose through her port. She has tolerated these very well so far too. In fact, she is back to her usual smiley, giggly self. Here she is dancing like a princess even with her IVs attached! She is finishing up day 10 of IV antibiotics and will be able to come home tomorrow if her blood counts continue to trend upward. We are so excited about that!
