CHECK-UP

Today Mom had a check-up with Dr. Uronis. She had blood work done first and then her appointment. Yesterday she had an ultrasound. Very good check-up!!! :):) Her blood work is fine, her bilirubin is good, no new tumor growth and all her swelling is gone. Great news!!
The next steps will be an appointment with the surgeon and deciding when to start the next round of chemo. She's feeling really good and we are pleased with her report!!

Shantel's PIC line is still working fine so they haven't had to put in a new IV port. The Dr.'s have decided she will remain in the hospital until her transplant. This makes us very sad because we love having her home and she does so well at home. With her being on Albuterol every two hours and continuous at night, sugars going up and down and not being able to be on steroids in preparation for transplant, it's safer for her to be at Duke.

Thank you all for your prayers.
