Phase Four Update

Maddy's counts were good last Tuesday, so we were able to start Phase Four on schedule last Wednesday. This phase started with a spinal tap with chemo, two additional chemo drugs through the port, and seven days of steroids. It was a rough start. (Those steroids are NOT nice!) Maddy wasn't feeling the best, but is better now. She had her second chemo treatment today. Her counts were good, so the doctor told her to go do something. She and her dad stopped at the Imagination Station (formally COSI) on the way home from the clinic. Maddy had a lot of fun. The doctors predict that her counts will drop in 10-14 days, so we will try to squeeze in as much fun as possible this next week.
