Emily is doing well. Her pulse is still high actually, when they took her vitals and labs yesterday they found she was still running high. I begged Tracy to see the doctors about this after, and they were unimpressed and probably thought it was a waste of her time. They keep saying that she looks great and that's what is important and we need to just proceed with treatment. They will start to investigate her rapid pulse if it doesn't go away soon, but there seems to be no urgency.
Tomorrow she is going to go to the hospital at 9 for labs and IV hydration. She may need a platelet transfusion, so they will first take labs. After she is hydrated, maybe around noon, she will be put under for her LP, then back to the day hospital for IV chemo. A seriously long day.
For a treat tonight Emily had some cotton candy, I think her sweet tooth is back. I have two friends at work who have a cotton candy machine, and they made some blueberry flavored cotton candy a little while and sent some home for Emily. She really enjoyed it, of course :-).
I will update tomorrow night after the chemo-a-thon.

Hi Emily - Only thing better than BLUE cotton candy is PINK cotton candy (or so the kids tell me). Hurry home and keep up the good work, you are a #1 trooper!
