Emily will be back in the hospital tomorrow

Emily had her labs drawn this morning and her ANC level was up in the 800's which is good enough to be resume treatment. Tomorrow she will go in and be put under, have a procedure, and then be admitted for 24 hours of high dose Methotrexate via IV. She can go home when she clears it from her system, 3 -5 days as I have mentioned before.

I am glad treatment is resuming. Being on hold was tough. I have work meetings and deliverables that I had to cancel last week and put on hold for this week until I knew what the plan was for Emily. Selfishly I don't like all the waiting, but I know it's necessary. Tracy and I are now rolling out the plan for hospital coverage, who's going to sleep there which night, who is going to take care of Haley so we can be there for Emily, etc. There is a lot to do.

When we are in the hospital Emily and I have been planning to make a video so she can show you some of the places she goes when she is in treatment. She is also looking forward to making friends with other kids. If you are local, we'd love a visit too, I will post where we are once we have been admitted. Having a nice steady steam of visitors was so nice last time she was in. I will have my computer with me, so I will update everyone on how she is doing and feeling. The last time we were in-patient the whole experiecne was so nice, I hope it goes as well this time. Our circumstances for being there are so different. It will bring back a lot of memories though, especially when we see parents going through diagnosis like we were three months ago. I think the best thing I can do is just put on a good face so those parents can see that it's possbile for things to go well when your child is in treatment.
