Maggie is doing okay today. She responded fine to her spinal (no nausea this time!) and has been getting her methotrexate chemo since 6:30 PM. That one is a 24 hour drip through her IV. After that we'll wait for the chemo to clear out of her system and hopefully go home Monday.
It's a little hard being back in the hospital as we really have enjoyed a couple of nice weeks at home. We're adjusting fine though, and we're glad Maggie hasn't been sick. As of yesterday, her counts were still good, so her risk of infection isn't too high for the time being. So everything is pretty routine here.
Also, please say prayers for a little guy named Liam in South Carolina--another infant with ALL. He's had a bad relapse and it is getting touchy for them. Prayers are appreciated.
Thanks.

Hope Maggie continues to do well.
Your mention of little Liam reminds us that there are many who are in need of our prayers, whether we know their names or not.
Love and prayers.

Hi Bixlers,
We are glad to hear that Maggie is responding well to her chemo treatment. You are in our prayers. I'll come by and visit with you tomorrow. Hugs, Jess
Your posts are checked regularly and have been so helpful in providing direction for prayers. I pray that Maggie will avoid getting sick, mouth sores, diaper rash or tape burns. I also thank and praise God for the time you were able to spend at home and ask that you may return home on Monday. Liam is being remembered daily also. Blessings.
My children and I are praying for you all. Maggie is totally adorable and we pray that her recovery will be quick and complete. We pray that her mouth sores will not return and she will have no other adverse reactions to the chemo. Thank you for posting on this blog, we check it daily.
