Hi everyone,
Maggie is doing pretty well, and we are happy. Her infection has been identified and the antibiotic that she was on initially is a good match. She hasn't had a fever in 50 hours or so. That is great news! They have talked about keeping an eye on her here in the hospital until tomorrow or Saturday--they don't want to send us away before they know that the bug is taken care of. Our understanding is that this infection can be dangerous if it isn't treated, but it is well under control. It seems the only question now is whether it will stay clear in her broviac. But on the infection front, it is so far, so good.
Maggie still hasn't felt good for the last few days. Lots of straight faces, scowls, and angry steroid screams. She did have her chemo treatment that was scheduled for today, so that is good too. Also, she had a blood transfusion today, and will receive a platelet transfusion tomorrow. Over the last 3 days, her counts have dropped in half each day. So they are on their way down, we'll see how far down they go.
As I type this, Maggie is talking, smiling and giggling while playing with Whitney, so we're thrilled to see that. It has been a rough week. Hopefully she's on her way back to her normal self.

Glad for the positive report. Seeing her playing must be a spirit lifter. Hang in there, we are praying with you.
I am glad to hear she is doing great, It is best to see kids smiling:-)

It's Sunday and I'm wondering if you were able to go home for the weekend. I hope so, which would mean that Maggie is feeling better.
Still thinking of you and praying for you often.
Love. Great Aunt Phyllis
