Monday Lab Work

On Sunday, we discovered a rash developing under Anya's arm on her rib cage. She was only slightly itchy so we decided to wait to report it to her doctor on Monday, during her scheduled follow-up lab work.

Once we arrived at the clinic on Monday, in order to protect the other children, Anya was placed in an isolation room and wasn't allowed to go into the playroom. And as a mom who is sometimes on the other side of the fence - I was very grateful!

After the nurse inspected Anya and the lab results came back, the nurse told us that the rash was probably a viral thing and that it was probably what caused the abnormal spike in her enzyme levels last week. They also said that her enzyme levels were now much closer to normal (only slightly elevated). All of the other numbers they check were in a safe range, so the doctors told us to put Anya back on her daily chemo meds.
