Quick update today...
We had another ER run over the weekend. Poor honey. By 5pm on Saturday night before Easter Madelyn was screaming from pain in her ear. It was exactly the same as three months ago coming home from Leavenworth. I called the on-call Oncologist at Children's and they instructed us to go to the ER at Island Hospital. Phew. We were in and out 1.5 hours! Yup, ear infection! Antibiotics were started by 8pm. She was in bed by 9pm.
She is feeling great now and headed back to school on Tuesday.
It was a hard decision to send her back to school and come off Lock Down. The Whooping Cough outbreak is still at epidemic levels in WA State, but the few cases loosely associated with the school were two weeks ago. And we are all going stir crazy. Madelyn and Sophia have both been spilling over in smiles and energy since going back. We will still try and stay away from "people" places... but back to school is good for us all...
We went to Island Hospital on Monday for counts. She is back to HER normal counts - the right level of immune system suppression.

ALT (liver toxicity) is on the rise again... we will continue to monitor that.
Our next appointment is on April 23. I hope I have nothing to report until then!
