Vision test today showed that her vision has actually improved since her last test! Kidney's are functioning perfectly! Everything is looking good! Lumbar tomorrow and then we get to go home for a week!! I can't wait! We had our appointment with the bone marrow people to discuss chemo today. For the most part it's everything we expected. The drugs will most likely make her nauseous and sick, and her blood counts will drop to zero. They apparently are very good at controlling the sickness once they get a handle on what effects her the most. We are also doing a stem cell rescue that I'm really excited about! Before we leave the hospital she will receive her own healthy stem cells and a drug to help them multiply! :) For the most part chemo side effects are short term and go away as soon its over. There are a few possible side effects that aren't so great, however. One of the drugs can damage hearing and another can cause infertility. :( But just like everything else, we'll just stay positive, and I'm sue everything will work out perfectly!
Hayden is doing so good these days! Today she picked Olive Garden for dinner and a race track for her cars (for being such a good girl at all her appts)!! She does such a great job at the appointments, everyday, allll day. It's like a job, 9-5. But they do seem to go fast and waiting doesn't even phase us any more, we just come prepared! I can't believe the amount of new toys she's gotten lately! She loves getting new things now! She didn't used too! So silly! Her energy is starting to come back again, she started to get tired from radiation about 2 weeks ago. Getting the normal results from hearing and vision tests is great because radiation can mess with both of those things, among others...
We ran into Jaxon today, who is about 2 weeks out from his first round of chemo, he looked great!! He was doing really well and blood counts came back up today!! Great news for them and makes things seem a little brighter for us as well! :)
