Halfway through chemo week...
Lyla is half way through chemo week and doing amazing! She's had 3 doses of an immune suppressant drug called ATG (it's actually made in horses) and the only reaction she had was a fever on the first day. The doctors are very impressed and we are enjoying playing lots with her! She started the first dose of two chemo drugs last night and so far no reactions. The impact of these drugs will likely hit her early next week. Good news that she will probably be feeling good through the weekend and for transplant day on Monday!
A huge thank you to everyone that's sent drawings and decorations! Her room is starting to look much more Lyla-ish!!
And I'll keep saying thanks for all the sincere notes. Lyla would likely never be able to read if it wasn't for a bone marrow transplant so I can't wait to show her this website one day and let her read all the lovely messages and words of encouragement!

That is the best news ever. We continue to pray for you as a family every night- and even the girls remember to pray for her in their sweet prayers! :) You're amazing!
Thinking of Lyla every day here at Seattle Children's Hospital. I've begun delivering medications to the Surgery and Rehab units, which I imagine little Lyla would have spent some time in if she were here in Seattle. So happy to hear that things are going smoothly so far! Lyla seems like such a trooper :) . Wishing you all the very best. Love, Derry
