Okay, so Shayla was able to come home last Saturday night about 7:45p.m. Dr. Chang was surprised by how quickly her neutrophils came up (no Neupogen shots needed Saturday or yesterday), but we know the power of God strengthened her body to again be able to move 'forward as scheduled' on this, the one before the last, chemo session!
This afternoon her platelet count was a strong 8 point something, so she is currently getting the chemo med at St. Luke's. It was a late start due to hydration (or lack of peeing actually) issues, but that is all resolved now.
Shayla has decided on a wish she would like to be granted through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. I am hoping she will post about it soon.
Today she spent time working on school assignments and got much done-way to go Shayla! I know she hates me nagging her about getting the work done, but she will be (hopefully) glad when the year is all done and she doesn't have to take summer school or retake classes next year in High School!
Now that the weather has turned cold Shayla is starting to wear her hats more, even around the house. It may not be long before she dons her beautiful wig Morgan and her family bought for her, but who knows?
It's been a good day. Shayla has triumphed again over the doctors' doubts that she would be physically strong enough to stay on schedule. Since faith can move mountains it most certainly can produce platelets!
