AFP 7.8

Great news! Kaelyn's AFP is down to 7.8 as of last week. It has never been that low, even after transplant. So we will continue on with atleast one more course of chemo through July. After that we have a decision to make, keep going with the chemo or stop and see what happens. We are not sure what we will decide. We also are considering getting a few other hospitals involved with second opinions and options for Kaelyn's treatment, both with her cancer and her liver issues. I think the extra information with help make our decision. Kaelyn is also back in the hospital right now. We came in on the 4th of July for a fever. She needs another drain change. She also is having some blood in her stools, so we are running a bunch of tests. So far they are all negative. The doctors are thinking that possibly her drain is in too far and causing some irritation in the intestine which may be causing the bleeding. So, tomorrow they will change the drain and we will see what happens.

Love to all. Angie
