Day 15 update

For those of you who have been waiting to hear about the results of the Day 15 biopsy, the news is good. Dayssi was classified as M1 (less than 5% blasts in her bone marrow). We don't have the exact numbers yet but the doctors are pleased with the result.

This means we are still in the standard risk category, on the standard treatment protocol.

The girls are doing well. After all of the jealousy and anger earlier this week, they had a reconciliation of sorts yesterday: India spent the day with us in the hospital while Dayssi was having her tests. During the visit she asked to go to the gift shop, where she bought a music box for Dayssi. Next, Dayssi asked India to administer the yucky medicine (this is a real honor!) and at bedtime said she wanted to sleep next to India. India offered to move her bed into Dayssi's room. Dayssi drew the line there. But still, it is progress!
