I'm hopeful for a good outcome, there's always a reason to hope. But I wouldn't know how to boost their spirits. They're beat down right now and scared to boot.

Rachael post since seeing the transplant team yesterday:

Quote
Sorry for the delayed response for yesterday's Transplant Team Meeting...
Over all the information we received is no worse than on Wednesday but its no better...
Basically a Marrow or Cord Blood transplant is our only option. ... if we don't do it we're looking at as little as 6mths with her...
There is a 20% chance that she may not make it through the process, which is quite in your face high but that is the worldwide %...
Unfortunately she has a 50% chance of relapse of the new leukemia and 40% chance of Tcell relapse, post transplant ... but we will deal with those if they happen...
She is on the urgent transplant list because there is a huge risk of her relapsing Tcell because she's unable to finish her chemo regime for that... either way she is fighting 2 cancers. .. the wait will be somewhere between 4-8 weeks with cord blood being the quickest alternative. ..
She will definitely be totally infertile. ... and after much discussion between Dad and I (mum) we have decided not to keep an ovary... the risk of that procedure for her is too high and the fact that her ovary more than likely still carries Tcell in it, we're definitely not going to give it back to her....
Information overload i know but there is so much more than this that i am still trying to dicipher ...
Thankyou all for sticking with us through our journey so far... and we will continue to need your support for months to come.. x

The one big bonus Addy has is her innocence and the fact fighting this animal is really all she has known.

Poor old Odin must feel as if he's on speed-dial right now.

I hate when they give time frames and percentages. I really hate this whole situation  :'(

Yep that she does mate. If you could see her hop and skip, she is a delight

Oh gosh, look at that smile. She is such a brave warrior. Little tike is like Archie with bruised knees. Can't wait to see the birthday pictures.

Does her condition leave here more susceptible to bruising, or is she just one of those kids who doesn't give a damn and barges into things anyway?

Either way, that's a glorious smile.

If you could bottle that smile, you could make a fortune.

It's the kind of smile that makes Unicorns work overtime. :)

So Frozen has little girls obsessed down there too, eh?

A beautiful cake! My girl who just turned five is going to see this and ask why she didn't get it last month on her birthday.

Addy is a cutie, and I hope she had a fantastic birthday. Not even hospital can spoil that.  :D
