Update - At the hospital
Madelyn went into surgery at 11:15 and is getting a central line put in for chemotherapy administration. This is a straightforward but serious procedure. The port will be below the skin which will help us when bathing her and reduce her risk from infection. So far, everything is OK. We'll post more when we know. The procedure should take no longer than 90 minutes.
Dr. Pirich called yesterday to tell us that there is neuroblastoma in her bone marrow. The extent to which it is involved is difficult to determine because it was a cluster of cells rather than dispersed, but it doesn't change the treatment plan and most likely will have no effect on the outcome. It's a little discouraging, but it makes our decision to treat even easier.
We have internet access at the hospital and will check periodically and update the blog as we get a chance.
