Kallia is doing so good. She has a lumbar puncture today to check spinal fluid for leukemia and insert more chemo. Then she has blood tests and more chemo after her LP.
*later
Her spinal fluid came back clean. Her blood counts are improving! We are hoping for the best.
However just being back at the hospital made her regress emotionally. A few minutes after we got there she quit talking and wouldn't respond to anyone. It's so sad to see her go from mostly happy to baby-like and so scared. She was very afraid she would have to be admitted again. Luckily she didn't have to be.
In the clinic they flushed her pic line but it wouldn't draw blood. They had to flush it several times and then it finally worked. That scared her but it all worked out. We waited while she got her chemo treatments which was surprisingly fast. We met her new doctor, Dr. Efifi. She is from Egypt.
She was pretty sore on the way home but has been in good spirits since we left the hospital.
By evening time she was in lots of pain. She took her pain meds but they make her hyper and alert so she didn't fall asleep until midnight!!!!
Someone brought us taco Soup and even though we had some the day before, everybody loved it. Especially Kallia!
Long day!
We will all be praying for her to do well! We love her!
