Good news! Despite the fact that Keira's bloodwork came back on Friday with some possible abnormalities, the rest of her tests came back earlier today and show only good news! Keira remains NED (No evidence of disease) and her doctors are spacing her follow up out to 6 months. We are all so happy with these results. Thank you for all your prayers on her behalf!
Friday's testing was rough on Keira. When we drove up to Children's, Keira started protesting - "No go here today. Let's go to Ellie's house." She knew. They had a problem getting the IV started which meant more than a few tries (ouch!) Additionally, Keira's body has grown tolerant to the medicine that they use to sedate her for the CT scans so the first dose they gave her didn't work. She remained very upset for quite a while. They gave her an additional dose to settle her down, which worked beautifully. Unfortunately, the extra dose made her sick! After a day full of bad experiences, we still remain thankful - it could be so much worse. We are grateful for where we are at, and try our best to make these times as short as possible and then celebrate their accomplishment with something fun. This weekend to celebrate we went to the zoo.
Keira had a wonderful time and has aked to go back several times. She wanted to ride the zebras, and the lions. How do you explain to a 2 year old that you can't ride a lion? We distracted her from this request by letting her ride some shetland ponies. She was aprehensive at first, but ended up having a great time. We will try to get some pictures posted soon of her ride on the "real horses".
Thank you!
Jason, Erin and Keira Grace
