Loving Taylor

8 days of chemo are finally finished!!! Taylor (and I) both got a good night's sleep last night and she had a good day. She was feeling really well. She played alot with Grandma and had a special visitor in the play room. A gentleman named Larry volunteers his time here and does face/arm painting and magic tricks for the kids. Taylor got Strawberry Shortcake on her arm and Savannah got Hello Kitty. They both really enjoyed Larry and Taylor can't wait until next Thursday when he will be here again. She told me tonight that she is going to have "Mommy" painted on her arm next week...that should be interesting!!!So...now we wait!!! Her counts actually came back up today, which means our stay will probably be a little bit longer this rounds....probably more like 5 weeks instead of 4!!!

We did get the results of the "cytogenetics" today. Her chromosomal mutation was "mildly affected" in a positive way. What this means is that she did not flip to high risk, but didn't flip to low risk either. The doctors are very pleased that their was a positive impact but not to the extent they were hoping for. At this point, I still look at it as good news....positive is better than negative or no effect at all!! So tonight as I post, her treatment will stay the same until we have the results of round 2 (which will most likely be early September).

We are still hanging in there and she is feeling better than I expected.

Hope you all had a great Thursday.

Love,
Kristen
