Her counts ended up being high enough for us to go to clinic on Tuesday the 16th....1300 to be exact. So, now she is officially in maintainance!!! It was a procedure day (lumbar treatment), but thankfully my dad was in town and came down there with us. That does help to have someone there with me while she is in the procedure room. Plus he likes to come and be involved in all of this, and four ears are better than two. I expected now that she started maintainance that this was going to be a smooth road...she would go to preschool, I could go back to the gym but, after talking to the docs down there we may need to wait a while on all that. They are waiting to see how her counts balance out. The goal is to have her on the maximum dose of oral chemo with out having her couts be in the toilet. So, if her counts are good next week then on the 13th of January they will increase her dosage. After two weeks they will check her counts...if they are good then they will increase it again, so on and so forth. Until she is at the max her body can handle. They said that if her counts were decent on the 13th of January they might let her go to preschool, since it is only two days a week for three hours. They said on those days I can go to the gym....not quite yet for the gym daycare. We ended up getting home kinda late, but overall it was a good day!! Ryan did great!
