Super Kristi

Kristi gets in touch with her super alter ego, Sleep Girl. Her special power: she can sleep through anything. Our visit to the doctor this morning didn't bring the best news. She has a fungal infection of the liver and spleen. This most likely happened while she was neutropenic during "induction" chemo. The infection was detected first by the elevated liver enzymes and confirmed by lesions in the CT scan. She's now on antifungal meds. Originally the plan was to have her take an oral prescription, but at $30/pill, that's sort of out. Her insurance will only cover it if it's IV. So it is. She should be fine in a week or two. This news moves her next round of "consolidation" chemo back a week or so. This is might actually be a good thing, since now she won't be on chemo for her up-coming birthday. She also had her bone marrow biopsy today. We don't have the results yet. The procedure is invasive enough that she has been forbidden to lift anything for about a week. I should verify with the doc if this really means that she can't weight train at all. Would be sad, since we invested some time in setting up a little gym in her room.
