4 Days of Chemo

Kayleigh has had an overall good week. After her lumbar puncture last Thursday, she received three more days of chemotherapy (ara-c) at home given by a homecare nurse. Kayleigh was pretty sick from the chemo she got at the hospital and had some nausea on the second day. Since then, she's been very happy and full of energy wanting to dance around the house. What a beautiful, heartwarming, hopeful sight! Today she has a bit of a cough and dark circles under her eyes, so I'm wondering if she may need a blood transfusion. She goes to the clinic tomorrow for labs and chemo. We've not been told if she's count dependent or not. If they give her the chemo, then she'll remain accessed and receive three more days of chemo at home once again. I'm not sure what the plan is after that because the doctor hasn't gone over that part of her roadmap with us. Thank you for continuing to keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
