Been awhile...




Just a quick note to update everybody-Echo had a blood transfusion on May 28, 2010 that worked wonders on picking her back up again. She was tired, pale, and complained of "the worst headache ever." We then went in for Round 3 of chemo on June 7, 2010, yuck! She had a reaction to the Phenergan so the doctor dc'd it luckily with no additional nausea. While in the hospital Echo had an x-ray done on her femur I believe it was prompted by us asking when they think Echo can walk again. The radiologist said in his report he believed it was "progression of disease." One of her doctors, Dr. Jones, said he doesn't believe that and he has ordered a MRI on her next admission Monday, June 21. It was a huge blow to hear her tumor has not responded to the chemo therapy yet. Echo can not walk at all yet though she is able to crawl which unfortunately has brought back her pain! She has lost weight, puked quiet frequently, and endured so many headaches, basically it has been real hard on her! Wish us luck with finding foods she WILL eat and that her blood counts stay up. Keep her in your prayers for her MRI please. Thank you!
