Leila started the Delayed Intensification treatment stage this week. She had a spinal tap along with Vincristine and Doxorubicin. These are both chemo treatments that are given into her central line. She also started taking Dexamethasone (THE STEROID) again for 21 days. On Friday this week, she will have the PEG Asparaginase which is another chemo given intramuscular in her legs. This treatment stage is considered the toughest round, so we are preparing ourselves both mentally and physically. Leila has done so well throughout all of this, so we hope for the best and take each day as it comes.
Leila had her first home school tutor session today with Mr. Gardner. He will be coming three days a week to work with her. He will be keeping in touch with her first grade teacher to keep her up to date with what her class is doing. Hopefully this will help her to make a smooth transition back to school when she is able to return.
