Treatment Started

After a two week break, Maddy's counts finally got high enough to start her next treatment today.  She was hoping to get one more week off because she really wants to make it to the Fulton County Relay For Life event this coming Friday.   We have already told everyone we can think of at the hospital that Maddy just has to be ready to be discharged by Friday!  Now, we are praying that her body metabolizes the chemo they are going to give her so they will allow her to be discharged  according to OUR plan!  : )

Maddy had her spinal this morning and she has been getting fluids all day in preparation for the chemo.  They are also checking her "specific gravity" to make sure she is ready-  that is a new one for us.  We are not quite sure what that means...  She is in good spirits and hopefully will not have any complications.

We'll let you know how the week goes...

  1. Dear Maddy
    We'll be praying for you to get through this treatment with flying colors and make it to RFL.
    You are such a little trooper. Way to be tough.
    Hope to see you soon.
    Love
    Mrs. Hill
