Today's blood counts look terrific, and she's feeling good.
Now we're beginning the Consolidation phase, which lasts 28 days and entails swapping out the steroids in favor of the 6-MP, and dropping Vincristine until the next phase (she had her one and only dose this morning). Overall, this means fewer drugs and less frequent doses.
We're told the first six months are the toughest. One down.
OKay.....as the next 6 months unfolds, feel free to call on us!
ReplyDeleteAnd I guess we'll be making a trip to NYU to give some blood! :)

Hi Adam,
ReplyDeleteWe really very happy to hear about it.
We hope we will be accepted from NYU as blood donors. I will call them right away.

Erica, Zoe's teacher, told me about the blog when we asked how your whole family is doing. We're going to try to donate blood when we're next in town, and send a couple of things for both girls. Talia really misses Zoe. We're thinking of you all.
