Ella, sporting her new pixie hairdoo, began her second week of Chemotherapy on Monday, 21 April.
The “Day 8” treatment calls for two procedures. The first involves a lumbar puncture to draw a sample of Ella’s spinal fluid and to inject Chemotherapy drugs into her Central Nervous System (CNS). Because of Ella’s airway issues, her sedation was performed by the same anesthesiologist who took care of her in the OR during last Monday’s surgery. The extra effort resulted in a procedure that was blissfully uneventful.
The second procedure involved accessing Ella’s Porta Cath site to draw blood and infuse the Chemotherapy drug, Vinchristine.
We start each morning with prayers of thanks to God for another day and for all the people who are praying for Ella.
Thank you for your prayers.
