Chemo hold

~Sparklers~

Well this week Bella had counts check on Monday. Unfortunately she did not make counts. Her ANC was only 580. It has to be 750 to start the new phase. This came as a blessing in disguise since Leo and I leave for Vegas next Saturday. If she clears next Monday her treatment will start on Tuesday. She will have 3 different types of chemo on Tuesday. Lumbar puncture where they inject chemo into her spinal fluid while she is asleep. They will also do another Bone Marrow Aspiration to make sure that she is still in remission and her MRD (Minimum residual disease) is still negative. After that she will have Vincristine and Doxorubicin injected through her port. She gets vincristine every phase but the Doxorubicin is new to us. The major side effect of this drug is that it can damage the heart. Hence the ECHO she had a few weeks ago. She also begins a 7 day stretch of steroids. Hopefully she does have too much "roid rage" as my mom will have her the last 3 days she is on them. Our New Years Eve was uneventful. We rang in the new years with some sparklers and a fire cracker that scared both girls. Gabbi was asleep by 9 but Bella made it midnight to ring in the new year. Our Gold Hope Photo shoot was pushed back to this Saturday since last week was so cold.

For those of you not on Facebook we finally have bracelets and t-shirts ordered. Bracelets are free. All we ask for is $2 for shipping and that you share Bella's story. T-shirts are $15+shipping. They are extra soft t-shirts that come in medium, large, or extra large. If you need a different size we can also order them, it will just take a little longer. If you want one of these please email me at bellaslovehealsall@gmail.com.
