Congrats to Ryan! She has made it through Induction!!!! Yesterday went very well. It was another long day of "no eating aloud" for Ryan, but we had appointments in the morning that kinda ate up (no pun intended) the day a little. We first had the surgery consult for the port. Then we had to get an X-ray to check for correct placement of her PIC line. We had a little incident on Monday with the home health nurse. Her pic line was almost removed (bad), then attempted to be replaced (even worse), and became contaminated (not good at all), and they were worried about her being at risk of infection. Especially in her blood. We then went to clinic saw the docs, got her chemo there, then went up to surgery center for her lumbar treatment and bone marrow aspiration (we should get results soon), and added to that was the removal of her pic line. The pic line removal was a blessing actually. When we had gone in for the surgery consult the doctor had told us it may not be until August for the port to be put in. When we told him about what had happened with the pic line he said if it had to be pulled he would try to get us in sooner, but no promises. Well when we went to clinic our doctor made a few calls and due to the fact that her pic line was going to have to be removed....they scheduled her for this Friday for the port!!! Again, the port is what we have really wanted. So, Friday we will be heading down there for that. It is a surgery, but it is a same day procedure so we will be able to come home when she is done. We can't wait and hope that everything goes smoothly.
She has been taken off of the steroids now. It may take a few days but her appetite should return to normal. Or she may have a little decrease in appetite. And after some time her cheeks and belly should go down. She did begin a new medication. It is a cancer fighting medication that kills cancer cells so, I would classify that as a Chemo drug. It has only been one day but she seemed to tolerate it okay last night. This next phase of treatment is called Consolidation, and I hope that she breezes through it like she did Induction! I have much faith because of all of the incredible people she has thinking, praying, and supporting her! Thank you! Love to all!!!

Hello to all the Wiggys! Charlie just told me the good news today about the port! We definitely have you all in our thoughts and prayers, everyday! How brave you all are during this battle! It looks like you have tons of support during this time, but if you ever need 4 extra hands...our arms are open!
Ryan...I am glad you have a good appetite! (I do too, I am eating all the time because I'm pregnant!) I think it's funny that you were craving black olives, because I AM TOO! I especially like mine to be cold, right from the refrigerator!
Love to all,
Megan

HI sweet Princess Ryan,
