Clinic Visit 12/22/08

We went to clinic yesterday and it was a pretty routine visit. (Crazy that this this becoming routine!) Cora threw a total temper tantrum in the weigh, measure, temperature room. I mean freaking out! Refusal to get on the scale and hitting mommy repeatedly when I tried to make her. Pretty embarassing, but as soon as we went to the other room, she chilled out a little. Then they checked her counts. EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL! Her ANC was 2472 which is good. Anything above 1500 is good. Then we waited and waited as Abuelo gave the doctors the third degree (we took him with us!) He was asking them where they went to med school and how many years experience and all sorts of stuff! Anyway, then they put her to sleep and gave her a shot of methotrexate in her spine, two shots of aspiraginaise (I know that's spelled wrong) in her legs, and started vincristine through her port before she woke up. Then she woke up and had to lie still for 1/2 hour while they finished the vincristine. Then we signed out and packed up and came home. Actually we stopped for sandwiches first (we coaxed her out of chicken nuggets and talked her into turkey and cheese). So pretty routine! She is still really feeling good, but has a lot of steroid puff still! Who cares, she feels good. She is even sleeping normal again. ALL NIGHT LONG! HOORAY! Things are going well, but please keep the prayers coming!
