Tuesday Greta was in the clinic for her all day chemo test. She was given a small dose of the chemo drug that she will receive for her transplant and then had her blood drawn at various intervals to get a baseline. This will determine what her dosage should be when she gets the real deal next week. We were also told that due to the Sinusitis, Greta would require another CT Scan on Friday.
Wednesday we had a wonderful New Years Eve. Randy and I took Gavin bowling with the neighbors. Greta stayed home with her babysitter, we didn't think she was quite ready for bowling just yet. Afterwards we all celebrated together at the neighbors house. Greta had a great time playing with the balloons and dancing. New Years Day we all slept in and then went to the neighbors to watch the Michigan State bowl game. Wasn't quite the ending we had hoped for, but pretty much what was expected.
Today we went in for Greta's CT Scan. We got the call this afternoon that her Sinusitis isn't clearing up and that it actually has thickened even more on the right side. So we'll be seeing an ENT on Monday where Greta will undergo sedation and have her sinuses suctioned to determine if there is an infection present. This will likely push back her transplant, whether it's only a couple days or a week will depend on if there is infection.
We're all pretty anxious to get started on her transplant...(and a little nervous) so this isn't the news we had hoped for. But Greta needs to be at her best for the next step and we'll do what needs to be done to get her there.
We hope everyone had a safe and happy new years and here's to a healthy 2009 for all of us!
Love,
The Betz Family.
