Wednesday

Morgan had come down with a bit of a cold today. This morning she went in for bloodwork and then early this afternoon we found out she needed a blood transfusion. She headed off to children's hospital and was back home by around 8:30 this evening. She is feeling quite tired and under the weather today.

Tomorrow morning we are back into Children's to start her 5 day chemo.

Tuesday

Good day today. Morgan took it easy for most of the day. She did some drawing and watched a few movies.

Tomorrow morning she will go into Delta Hospital to get bloodwork done in preparation for the 5 day chemo that starts Thursday morning.

Monday

Morgan had a good day today. She got up early and went to Delta Hospital to get her blood drawn. We got word that her counts were okay so we headed into Vancouver. We went shopping downtown and then went out for lunch. She had a great day.

She was complaining of a headache today so we are keeping an eye on it as it may be a sign that her hemoglobin is dropping. She took it easy this evening.

Sunday

Thursday

Morgan had a busy day today. We headed to Children's first thing in the morning to get bloodwork done. After that, we went to VGH to meet with the surgeon who will be performing Morgan's surgery.

We were told that they will be removing her entire collar bone and possibly her top rib as well as a bit of her sternum. Hopefully that will remove all of the cancer cells. They will then test the bone removed and if there is any live cancer cells they feel they have missed, she will then need radiation. The surgeon is quite confident that he can remove it all to try to avoid having the radiation as that can cause long term effects.

We then went back to Children's to meet with Morgan's oncologist. All went well and her blood counts are bottoming out as expected. We will need to get additional blood work on Monday to see if she will need a blood transfusion.
