 I have  been doing very well! After I got antibiotics for my fever I didn't get another one and have had a lot of energy. My mom and I went to see Oz The Great and Powerful in 3D and it was good. Kind of scary in some parts especially since it was 3D because it comes out at you. I slept in super late today and feel very rested. I did have some pain in my shoulders which the doctor says is from either the Neulasta shot I get every three weeks or it could be from the Vincristine that I get weekly or it could be from both, but either way it has gotten better.

Hi!! Yesterday I ended up having to go to the oncology clinic to get some antibiotics because I had a fever. It didn't take long and that was nice. They said my counts were all still good and since I had a transfusion my red cells were back up and looking good again. I'm tired tho so I've been taking it easy. So far I haven't had another fever.

 Yesterday was a very big day for me! I had chemo in the morning and that went well. My counts were good except my red blood cells were too low again, but I didn't feel tired or sick! They told me I needed to have another transfusion :(

I had an appointment at the radiation center to make my mask for when I do my radiation. They game me some medicine to help me stay calm but it didn't work so well. I was still really scared, but I had my mama right there with me and she played my favorite songs on her phone while she held my hand. They put a hot wet sticky plastic flat mask on me and it formed to my face so I can't move when they do my radiation. It was very scary! Then they put cold wet wash clothes on top to cool it down so it would get hard and the water was running on my face and eyes. There was nothing fun about making my mask!


On a better note as me and my mama were going inside the hospital we saw a helicopter that goes from one hospital to another. I saw them from my room too. I can't believe how many times they come and go in one day!

Busy busy busy we have been so busy! I have been feeling really good this last week. We got a different kind of medicine that makes me not feel yucky. It's just a pill that I swallow instead of it melting in my mouth. I don't like the taste of that one. It made me sick, so when I got all three of my chemo medicines I got really sick the days after. But this time I didn't get sick at all because I was able to swallow these new pills! SO I DIDN'T GET SICK!! I had lots of energy and felt great. I even got to go bowling!

I had an appointment with the Ear Nose and Throat doctor today. My voice has been a little funny so he wanted to look at my voice box. I had to sniff some gross stuff that tasted like alcohol and he looked in through my nose down my throat. I didn't have a good time, I cried. I don't like all the things I have to do sometimes.

Tomorrow I go in for chemo again. I think everything will go as planned. I have been feeling good so I think I won't have to spend the night.

My family and I also just want to thank everyone for your help, love and support! We love you for it and pray that you'll be blessed! THANK YOU EVERYONE!
