Ginger's Update
Okay, so here goes another update on the Booger (one of her many nicknames; maybe I should have chosen Ladybug or Baby Girl?). She had another round of chemo on Thursday, so she's still a little down. It typically makes her really tired for a couple of days afterwards. This time she's also had some muscle weakness, particularly in one leg, which has manifested in a limp. I won't go into my nursely ministrations last night, mainly because you'd think I was crazy, but suffice it to say that she was kept quite comfortable & rested all day & night. So, the limp is better today & she's been a little more perky. Now for what Dr. Hammond said when we picked her up. . .We're in another remission. He ran a CBC & said the numbers were great. He can't find a single lymph node anywhere on her. So, now we're back to monitoring. The last time we went into the "monitoring" phase, we stayed there for just shy of a year. As I've said before, this was medically impossible, because according to the timelines, she should have lasted only a month & a half. I'm praying that we get a good outcome this time as well. Thanks again for your love & prayers. I'm very grateful.
There's the beautiful Ginger girl. Praying for her healing.
