Okay, we have gotten more good news today than in the past 5 months! Kaelyn's pathology report came back today. It looks like the cancer has not spread anywhere else in the body or blood stream and was totally contained in the liver. It was all taken out from what they can tell. We will check her AFP levels in a couple of weeks and also do a CT Scan, but from the information they have now our oncologist predicts that we will NOT NEED ANYMORE CHEMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are so excited! I thought that for sure she was going to need 6 more weeks, but for right now she doesn't need anymore at all!
Also, her ultrasound this morning showed great improvement in the hepatic artery. Blood is flowing into twice as much of the artery than it was two days ago. It is still not reaching the liver, but it is very close. It is flowing up until the wall of the liver. This too is great news. We are hoping that in two more days that the flow will be completely normal again.
Kaelyn may also be released from the ICU in a day or two. She is doing so well. Her liver is functioning better and better each day.
I just can't hardly take in so much great news! It has been a beautiful day so far. Hopefully the trend will continue! We are so greatful to our Heavenly Father for the many blessings he has given to our little girl. What a gift she is.
Love,
Ang
