Tues May 24

Madelyn had labs yesterday and.... hoorrrrrray!!!.... still no transfusion.  Numbers are going up!  


Hem 25.4    Plat 123    WBC 1.5    ANC 585


These numbers are still low, but the upward trend is encouraging.  Her ANC has to be at 750 to start Long Term Maintenance on May 31.  With a week to get there from 585 I'm pretty confident that she will begin on time.  HOME HERE WE COME!


Madelyn continues to be in fantastic spirits and has tons of energy.  She is eating well, but not drinking great.  I even resorted to buying her an Izzy Soda Pop today, but it was still dismissed.  Ashley came to visit yesterday after the hospital and brought the girls a mini-donut. MJ ate the whole thing! For most kids, not unusual, but for Madelyn this was huge.  I know it's crazy, but I was super excited she ate a donut.  Sitting at our dinner table you might hear:  "Madelyn, you can have more asparagus after you eat three more bites of bread."


She has labs again on Thursday.  So more soon...
