Heading over to CHLA today. We have an appointment with Dr. Finlay and Lauren is scheduled for her bi-weekly (every other week) chemo, which consists of Avastin and Irinotecan. She is borderline catching a cold. She also hasn't been getting her daily chemo, Temodar. Since all these chemos affect her white blood cell count, which is needed to fight off infections and even though she is on a very low dose (maintenance) of chemo, if she were to get a fever we would have to rush her to the hospital. We found out in Dec. how quickly she can crash and how dangerous that can be. The meeting with Dr. Finlay is to go over Lauren last MRI.

Not sure if you can tell by the picture but Lauren's head is covered in peach-fuzz. It took a while to start growing again, but now that it started it is growing fast. Lauren is getting very excited. I told her last night that she has more hair than grandda. She said, she even has more hair than Uncle Steve!
