Please pray for us especially this week as Maggie has a spinal tomorrow and begins steroids. They will check Maggie's spinal fluid to make sure there isn't any cancer cells. Please pray that her fluid is clear and that she remains in remission. So often this diarrhea problem clouds the real reason why we are here and that is to cure Maggie of cancer. Pray also that Maggie will not have bad side effects to the steroids or Vincristine. Pray for a good week.

No reprieve
We saw some progress in Maggie's stool within the first few days of TPN. I knew it was good when I wasn't waking up multiple times throughout the night to change her dirty diaper. However, yesterday evening took a turn for the worst and we ended up changing 15 diapers overnight. I was so mad, frustrated, and ticked at the world. This should not be happening, not on TPN anyway. The only thing we can think is that Maggie the oral Methotrexate Maggie got on Friday might have created this diarrhea. Unfortunately it hasn't let up today either. We will see what the night brings.

Yes, I am sure it is difficult to keep your eye on the long-term goal when the problems in the immediate present are so dramatic.
I hope and pray that this week's meds, including the steroids, won't be so disrupting. And that her spinal fluids point to a good eventual outcome.
Thinking of you and praying for you always.
Great Aunt Phyllis
Hope it all went okay. I am praying for your girl all the time.
