Happy Mother's Day. This year we spent Mother's Day in the hospital and last year we spent it by flying out to NYC for our 2nd trip out there. We were just starting 3f8 this week last year. Where has the time gone? Marissa will be having a CT scan first thing tomorrow morning to get a better look at her sinuses and neck/throat area. They will also scan her lungs to get another look at the nodules in her lungs. She has been doing well, full of energy and appetite. She does have some major mood swings, though. We think that those are due to all of her meds that she's on and the fact that she's been confined to a hospital for 10 days now which is very hard to do for an active child. Marissa's counts are doing well. Her WBC is 2600, her ANC is over 1000 (yeah!), her hemoglobin is holding at 10.3 and her platelets are down to 57,000. Please say a prayer that her infection clears up, the nodules on her lungs are nothing to worry about and that we can soon take her home. Thanks for checking in and please continue the prayers. Tracy
