Another Update

Good morning!  I wanted to quickly share with you, that despite Kayleigh's cold, she was able to receive her chemotherapy treatment yesterday.  Our trip to Children's began with a stop at Special Wish to pick up a very special envelope that was sent there for Kayleigh.  She made me promise not to share what it is, but I can tell you that it put the biggest smile on her that I've seen in a very long time. :)  Hopefully she'll feel more up to writing on here this weekend and can share everything with you.  Her blood levels did drop this week, but thankfully not low enough for any transfusions.  Her ANC (immune) level also dropped quite drastically.  It should be at least 500 and was actually over 6,800 last week.  Yesterday, it was only 290, which means she's more susceptible to catching things.  :(  So we have to be extra careful right now with her.  Kayleigh will get two weeks off from chemo and her treatment will be taking her steroid pills at home.  She is scheduled to have a lumbar puncture on January 19th.  Please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
