Immunotherapy Update

Caroline completed 2 outpatient infusions of Naxitamab this week...experiencing the expected side effects (mostly pain, itching and rash).   She also got bloodwork done while in clinic; her ANC (immune system) really plummeted over the past few days. Being immunocompromised is tricky because any little virus or bacteria can be very dangerous and land her in the hospital, so we'll keep her at home doing online school until we can get her counts tested again next week.

Although she looks and feels ok today, the inside of her little body has been battered by all the treatments over the (almost) seven years, particularly the harsh chemotherapies.  She is eating well/healthy, and seems to be hanging in there mentally (as well as can be expected battling cancer for the 3rd time).

We're so grateful for all the outreach, prayers, meals and support.
