Bone Marrow Aspirations


A quick update to let you know that we received the result of the bone marrow aspiration that was performed while Millie was under general anesthesia while her broviac line was inserted.

The bone marrow test was clean of any cancer cells.

Yay!

Millie is getting better and better about taking medicine, accepting her nightly shot, and overseeing the detailed and daily care of her broviac tubes. Here is a picture of her working on "Brovi", her stuffed monkey, with its own broviac line. We stocked her toy doctor's kit with the supplies that we have for her care so she can perform all the same tasks on her monkey as we do with her.

  4. Laura and Brian, our hearts are singing with joy about this good news. Here's the thing, Millie looks beautiful and healthy and everything medical seems to be going in your favor. Medical procedures certainly have changed since our grandson endured this beast at age three. Our good news is that Jarrod, eighteen years later, is happy, healthy, and a great student at the University of NM. Don't forget, you and Brian have to take care of yourselves, too. Charlene

  6. We here at Spring Hill were sorry to hear of Millie's condition and are thinking of you all! I see you as I come down the hill often and almost cried when I saw you and Millie the other day when you were pushing her in the stroller. We wish for the very best in her recovery and love to see her progress when I check in. Take care, Reina
