Sarah's Cancer: Induction - Day 22 - Wednesday - Clinic

Sarah is now done with her chemo drugs for induction.  She did great today, and we got good news.  They are stopping the IV antibiotic.  That means that Sarah got de-accessed today.  She no longer has a tube attached to her.  This will give her more freedom and allow her to take a real bath.  She was excited to lay on her tummy when she went to bed tonight.  I am sure for her it felt like a big step.

We also got down with clinic fast today.  She got her chemo meds all done before she went into surgery.  That meant that we could leave from the recovery, rather than head back to the clinic and have her get meds.  She also didn't need platelets today.  The number was 60, which is still lower than normal, but it meant that she didn't need the transfusion.  Her ANC was 0.0, so we still have to keep her contained to limit her exposure to sicknesses.

Thanks for all the support and love and prayers.  We feel them daily.
