Almost done with phase 2

Yesterday Emily had her last dose of IV Chemo in phase 2 of treatment. She still has two more nights of taking a pill called "6MP" to complete Phase 2. After that, her doctor will monitor her labs, and when her blood levels reach certain criteria, she will start Phase 3. They told us some kids take 1 to 2 weeks in between phases.

Emily is feeling really great. She is doing pretty much everything she did before she was diagnosed. She continues to lose hair, but she still has some. This weekend we don't have anything planned and have been taking it easy. This morning Emily and I went and played another round of mini golf, and then did some shopping. The weather here is pretty cold so this afternoon she is watching a movie with Tracy. Sitting here looking at her, as I write this, it's hard to believe that a few weeks ago she was so sick and unable to move around. I am afraid to get too excited about how well she seems to be doing; besides the hair, she seems so normal and healthy.

Upcoming for treatment this week, is labs Tuesday and Friday, with a physical exam on Wednesday. Another very light week.
