Sweet Mia

Mia went in for her check up with the hematologist on Tuesday and everything looked great! All of her levels were normal. Her white and red blood cell counts were up and the dr said she is "just fine". We do have to go back one more time in February for a recheck just because the dr likes to see 18 months of stable numbers before discharging, but then we should be done. And I will be so glad. The Pediatric Texas Oncology office is somewhere I never want to see again. I truly can not imagine handling having a very sick child and was so thankful walking out of there with good news. Mia was so brave during her blood work. She asked the lady if "she wanted to check my arm" and then just put her arm out. She said a little "ouch" and that was it. I am glad she does so well and doesn't get upset, but it is also sad that she is so used to having blood drawn at age 2. Almost over!
