Update 10/9:: rd 3

I can't emphasize enough how well Imogen has done over these last three days. We still have more to come, but I'm happy to report no sickness, no fevers, and minimal nurse-kickings (only 3!)

Now that round 3 is done, we have our fourth round on Oct. 28. There's been a little bit of a development in the schedule, as well. 

The original plan was to do four rounds, pause for scans and imaging, then four more rounds. Here's what we heard today  out oncologist came in to talk about how tough the last cycle was for Imogen. They expect kids to have a much smoother time on this kind of regiment, meaning one of two things:

1. She's an outlier, and her little body doesn't handle it well. 

2. The tumor is so mature that it can't respond to the chemo, meaning her body is absorbing the full force of the treatment. 

So, they now have serous doubts as to whether we will continue with rounds 5-8. We're not really sure what to hope for, besides this: maybe the meds don't have anything to attack because the tumor has disappeared. 

We're still praying for healing, but we're also preparing for anything. It's hard watching the poison demolish her immune system, and we don't want immy to suffer unnecessarily if the chemo is as ineffective as a Braves player with RISP.* Of course, we don't want a risky surgery, either.  

So join us as we pray for a good report, and that we'll know what to do, come what may. 

We're still in process of moving, so if you and/or a friend can come help Saturday, that'd be a great service to us. 

So, we rejoice that Imm's spirits are up. And her appetite. This was her expression for tonight's late-nite snack. She's giddy for the slice of cheese coming her way.
