After a few days home, we headed in to the hospital on Thursday for round 2 of chemo. All her chemos are now a five to six day hospital stay, depending on how late they get started. During this chemo, she is receiving ifosamide and etoposide. It alternates with topotecan and cytoxan. She's tolerated all the chemo very well, so far. The steroids have helped with the nausea tremendously, and Abby has not been sick a single time in five weeks. That has been wonderful and has helped her feel good. This chemo is supposed to bottom out her counts, so we are hoping that she will be able to avoid a hospital stay for fever.
Abby also celebrated her 4th birthday at the hospital. We had a small celebration a home, where she requested a purple cake. Thank goodness for purple food coloring! We only hope that Abby has many, many more birthdays to celebrate with us.
