Since we've been home

Well the first day we got home we had a fire in the oven, the firemen came, the police, an ambulance, it was a very exciting first day home, then there was day 2, it was our first clinic visit up at primary children's. We went in and they drew some blood then we waited for the blood work to come back, it only takes about 5 minutes. The results were that her blast count was a 5, her ANC (the part of the white blood cell that fights off infection) is a 1.0 (supposed to be a 5.0 before they can take her port out and i can stop doing antibiotic at home) and her platelets were at a 20 (supposed to be 150, but they dont like it to be below 50) so we had to get a platelet transfusion.What happens next? She has an allergic reaction to the platelets!!!! About 5 people come rushing in giving her all kinds of medicines and shots and hooking her up to all kinds of machines....yeah not fun!!!!! but they finally got it under control enough to take her back to do a bone marrow aspirete and a lumbar puncture. When they got out they told me the most amazing news.....THERE IS NO TRACE OF THE LEUKEMIA IN HER SPINAL FLUID ANYMORE!!! This is great news because the spine is usually one of the hardest places for the chemo to take effect! GREAT GREAT NEWS!!
