A good week!

Leila had a spinal tap on Monday along with the chemotherapy injection of Methotrexate into the spinal fluid. This was the fourth week in a row of this procedure. This has to be done in order to check for any Leukemia cells that might be hiding in the spinal fluid during this stage of the treatment process.

It is a quick procedure, but they do sedate her so that she will not feel it or remember anything. She usually wakes up fairly quickly afterwards. She has been doing very well each time she has had it done.

Leila has definately had more energy this week and has enjoyed playing with her friends. She was not eating much during the week of the fever and hospital stay, but seems to be wanting to eat more now. We are having a good week!
