Just wanted to give an update on Simone since it's been a couple of months. Simone has been doing pretty good. She had her May chemotherapy treatment and had to receive a blood transfusions a couple weeks later. Her counts were too low. You could tell she was really tired. Lounging around. The transfusions make her feel a lot better and she is running around again. She is a fighter.
Last week she had another chemotherapy treatment and it was pretty rough. It make her sick for about 5 days . Normally it is 3 or 4. For some reason it really was tough to get over this time. The next day after her chemo we had to go to the emergency room because she had a temp of 103 just to make sure she didn't have any infections. She received some fluids and antibiotics and the only thing she had was the Rhino virus which is the common cold so we were sent home. Simone has 3 more chemotherapy treatments. I am pretty excited about that. We hope and pray that this will stop the tumor from ever growing again. In July she has another MRI to make sure the chemo is working. I am pretty sure it is because I haven't seen anything different about her that would alarm me in any way. She just seems her normal cute self.
