Emily is done with the L-Asparaginase shots. In Phase one she had 9 of them, and here in Phase 4 she just had her 6th and final shot. 15 very tough shots in all. Great job Emily. The nurses hate giving these shots, on Tuesday our nurse told us that of all the things she has to do as an Oncology nurse, Aparaginase shots are worst part.
Emily is glad to be done, but remains depressed. We are doing our best at keeping an up beat attitude around the house. She knows this will end and it coping the best she can to make it through. Emily has not been making it to school, and tomorrow her teacher Mrs. Maino will be coming be for some home school.
Emily doesn't need to be back to the clinic until next Tuesday for IV chemo, and that day she will also start to taper off of Dexamethazone.

Dear Emily -
It was so wonderful to hear your happy voice today when you called from the hospital to tell me you had just had your 6th and LAST shot! Hurray for Emily. What a relief to know these are over. I could see how hard they were for you and was praying for you every day. You're the best!
Love, Grannie & Grampa
