Today's Update!
Today: Lumbar Puncture , Hg:110, WBC 4.1, Plts: 459, Neutrofils 1.07. Medications: Via Intrathacal,(into her spine)are Methotrexate in her Spinal column and Vicristine in her port. Dexamethasone starts today and ends Sunday, this is a steriod to help with the residual symptoms, by keeping the blood work up and kills cancer cells.!
She was given Ativan, and tolerated the procedure well, and gave the appearance of intoxication but we couldn't find the bottle that was suspected... so we determined that Ativan is the same as a whole bottle of Champagne.
A very redisent set of parents watched as the resident (younger guy) had the task of doing the lumbar puncture procedure. The results will be given only if there is a problem. So in this case, no news in good news!
She will now go on an 84 day rotation and her next dose of port meds are in 83 days, but she does have oral chemo every night after 1 hour before bedtime.
This will continue as a regular routine, and we will keep you up todate. Next clinic appointment, next Tuesday, bloodwork and symptom managment.
