Leila's monthly Chemo clinic visit

Leila is now going to Dr. B's office every four weeks for blood counts and an IV chemo treatment. She did well this week and her blood counts were good. She has had some stomach problems and missed school one day this week. She is back on the steroids this week also, which adds to the stomach pain, back and leg pain and her emotional ups and downs. We are learning how to be more patient with her during these weeks. She also seems to be more tired and wants mommy to comfort her more often than usual. Although weeks like this are difficult, we are still very fortunate and thankful that Leila continues to do well. We know many other children whose battle is harder and longer, which helps us to appreciate every day that Leila does well.
