5 days…
Sorry for not writing but I was kicked out of the hospital Monday night with what we thought was food poisoning, and turned out to be a stomach virus some of the other parents on the floor had come down with – NOT FUN! Worse, I lost NO WEIGHT!! Monday, Max visited with her mom […]
Hi Everybody!
Hi everybody! It’s me Morgan! I asked my Daddy to write this letter to everyone. I want to wish everyone a Happy Hanukkah, and a Merry Christmas. Hello to all of my friends at school. I can’t wait to get back to school and see everyone. Hi to Bruno and Suzie. I miss you both […]
The Counts are In!
Well, the counts are in, and Morgan’s ANC is puttering around just below the magic number of 200, where she needs to be for a couple of days before we can go home. She continues to be in great spirtis, but is getting a little anxious to get back home. Her appetite is through the […]
9 days…or less!
Reports from the medical staff of “Team Morgan” let us know that all of her abnormal pre-B cells are no longer in the blood floating around in her body. What this means is that she has less pre-B cells, or Blasts, inside her bone marrow. This is what we have been waiting to happen. As soon […]

The hospital had a holiday party for all the families on the floor last night, with food and presents for all. Morgan really enjoyed herself. We continue to have challenges with the tummy, but Morgan is doing her best to “work thru” it. It becomes a wait and see game as we watch to see […]

Morgan continues to eat like a trucker – I apologize to any dainty truck drivers out there. Loving her carbs like nobody’s business! Also loving her math work in school – she keeps having me quiz her on double digit addition. Watch out Tr. Carol and Tr. Liz. I will be going to the outpatient […]

OK, sorry I did not write over the weekend, but even the girl/guy upstairs took one day of rest, I just waited and put 2 days together. Morgan had a good weekend. The medicine she is taking does seem to make her tired, so she has started taking some cat naps, or just laying down […]

Morgan’s results are in, and we are still at M3. I would love to be able to tell you what exactly that means, but I don’t remember. Ultimately, Morgan is not in the low percentages, but the doctors are not concerned. We will continue on the path we are on and see how her counts […]

Morgan did really well with her LP today, we should have results tomorrow. Morgan is helping the art teacher decorate the oncology wing where we are staying. The teachers here really try to keep all the kids spirits up by making where we stay really festive. Her appetite continues to grow…and my waist line is […]

Getting ready for our third LP tomorrow. This is when they check Morgan’s bone marrow to see if they were able to get rid of as many blasts (pre-B cells) as they could with the last 2 rounds of chemotherapy. We have our fingers crossed that we receive the news that she hits the percentages […]
