More updates!

First a picture from Thursday night...Lily had a concert at school, she is in the 4th grade choir...it is an after school activity.

Oops...Lily wasn't looking at the camera!  Dina is finally hat/scarf FREE!  And now she looks even more adorable.  I tell you, that girls does NOT need hair to be beautiful!  (I know...a mother is prejudiced!)

Okay, the latest scoop:  The culture came back virile...and the doctor already had her on a drug for that, he increased her dosage for the antibiotic and he also felt he did not need to do a bone marrow biopsy because he feels it is not cancer related at all.  Her white cell count was still extremely low...the same number 220, so the plan is to have three days of white cell booster shots (remember those from her chemo days?  she had them about the 4th day after each chemo treatment...the side effect is achy bones).  She had one shot yesterday, today she will go downtown to the Compass Campus and get another shot, and yet a third one on Monday.  She will also see the doctor on Monday and get more blood work on Thursday.  Already her mouth sores are clearing up and she is able to eat softer foods now.  Her sores in the lower membrane area are still quite large and not clearing up yet...we are hopeful with increased dosages she will start to get some relief.  She does have a big grin on her face all the time now, because the fact that she is cancer FREE is amazing, a miracle and so uplifting!  She is on cloud 9!

Thank you EVERYONE for your continued prayers and support...YOU all are amazing!
