Rash

One more word about the rash: Anya's doctor said that she was unsure of the cause of the rash. She assumes that it is either an allergic reaction to one of her chemo drugs (Peg-Asparaginase) or an allergic reaction to something in the home like laundry detergent or soap. She hopes that it is the latter because if Anya is allergic to Peg-Asparaginase they will have to discontinue its use and the replacement drug is expensive and difficult to obtain. The replacement is only produced in France and of the handful of children she has treated that needed it only one of them were able to get it.

PS. Anya just woke up and I asked if anything was bothering her. She said that she was sleepy but that it was probably because she "took a long time resting". :) I love her optimism!
