A week off of chemo

Leila's doctor appointment this past week was to get her blood counts only. She had another week off of chemo and no other treatments. Her blood counts were a littler higher than last week, so she didn't need anything else. She has been fighting a cold with runny nose, sore throat, cough and froggy voice this week. This has made it difficult to have her out and around much. We try to stay close to home when she's not feeling well. She did have a slight temperature one day, but it did not develop into a fever.

Grandma and Grandpa Brown arrived this weekend to stay with us through Halloween. The kids love having them here and getting the extra attention. It is also nice for mommy to get a much needed break. We have several Halloween parties and events coming up this week, so we are hoping Leila will feel up to it all.

Leila will have her weekly appointment on Wednesday this week. She is due for a spinal tap and chemo. This will be the beginning of the Maintenance stage of treatment. This is the last and final stage which she will stay on until she is done with treatment in June 2010. We still have a very long way to go, but she has done great with everything so far.
