Ready for round 3


Great news again this week as Abigail's blood work began recovering from the chemo on its own. So, no transfusions or platelets needed since the last post. Her platelet count is now above 800 (it was as low as 10) and her haemoglobin is rising again. She has also not had fevers and is finally free of that pesky cough. All this means that trips to the hospital have been kept to a minimum and, knock on wood, we won't have to go back until Wednesday when Round Three starts. She is in the best health she has been since all this began; next round of chemo will be the toughest she has had, so this is all in her favour.

The new house is much more kid friendly, with a bit of a 'circuit' track around the two hall ways that lets both kids run lap after lap of the house, accompanied by Disney soundtracks and lots of laughing. They love doing this and it has become a regular after dinner passtime. Both girls also enjoy riding their bikes/trikes on flat concrete, rather than the more challenging 45 degree slope we had in the last place. It has been a relatively mild winter thus far so this has also been popular in the last week. Lots of energy for such a little girl, puts mum and dad to shame!
