Counts up

Dayssi's ANC is over 1000 so we'll be starting chemotherapy again tonight. She will receive half her previous dosages this week and next Monday we are changing to another phase I think. There will be a lumbar puncture among other things. She'll be back at school soon as well.

Last night we took India to the urgent care because she injured herself climbing into a shopping cart (straddle injury is what the doctor's call it). She has a cut that needs antibiotic cream but is fine otherwise. I think both India and Dayssi were tickled that it was India's turn to go to the doctor. Dayssi watched quietly with a teeny tiny smile as India answered the doctor's questions, let him examine her, and peed in a cup. And India literally reveled in all of the concern and attention.

Dayssi has been determined to sleep without a pull up and did so succesfully last night, waking at 6:45 am and asking us to put on a diaper so that she could pee. Whatever.

Congrats on Dayssi's ANC. Way to go, sweetheart! And overnight without a pull-up? Wow!

I'm glad India and Dayssi enjoyed India's turn at the doctor's. After all, turnabout is fair play, right?

Glad to have the update.

Love to you all,
