Ellie Get Wellie - Day 83

A quick update - Ellie had labs today and needed a blood transfusion ahead of her scheduled 7th week of Consolidation chemo this Thursday.  Polly and she hung out at LPCH for about 5.5 hours this afternoon for that to take place.  El handled it like a champ without a single tear.  On Thursday she'll get two shots of PEG-Aspariginaise and one shot of the ever not-so-nice Vincristine.  Following Thursday she'll be one additonal shot of Vincristine away from finishing Consolidation.  She remains in very good spirits coming off the weekend despite low blood counts, so we just pray every night that continues.

The other thing I wanted to mention is that our absolutely wonderful friend from the Bruin family, Katie, is organizing an event on Ellie's behalf in a few weeks in partnership with the The Sitting Tree.  Polly and I have really just been very lucky, fortunate, and thankful observers of all that Katie has done for this.  The flyer is below in case you are interested.  We are forever in debt to our friends for their support.  Katie - HUGE hug from El, T, Polly and I.
