Cycle 3

We started the third cycle of long term maintenance. After we finish this cycle we will be half way done with maintenance. We wore our Brylee bracelets in honor of our little cancer buddy. We love you Brylee and our hearts are broken. We know that you are flying high and in no pain. We send love to her family as they struggle with this loss.

Presley was pretty quite this morning but I got a cute smile out of her. Her blood sugars were low. She was hungry and not really wanting to be at clinic. 

Everything looks great..her ANC is high again so the Doc upped her methotrexate (oral chemo for Thursday) and we will be back in a month. We started steroids today too. We toured the new lobby of Primary Children's Hospital. Presley and I think it looks pretty cool! We then headed to the Rapid Treatment Room for her Lumbar Puncture. UGH

My sleepy girl wanted a giant pretzel. She was starving and I don'tblame her. She was not sedated until about noon. That means no food in 16 hours. Shes a trooper! We only have 4 more LP's left, where they inject chemo into her spinal fluid to protect the brain from the leukemia cells. Leukemia likes to hide out in the brain. 

Here is Kelli --she is one of Presley's favorite nurses to play with at clinic. She always makes a smile on our face. We will miss seeing these ladies every month...but glad we will still see them every 3 months!
