Update

Bela is still doing well.  She is losing weight though, too much. She can still wear 3 month old size no problem,and she's six months now!  they aren't letting her sleep through the night anymore. Instead they wake her up every three hours to eat. And by "they" I mean her nurse because i won't be waking up every three hours to feed her, it's just not the way the good Lord intended.  Heck, she probably won't wake up either. The girl can eat in her sleep!

She finished her chemo on Thursday and so far she's not had any fevers and is not yet on any antibiotics. She has been vomiting quite a bit, which is another reason they want her to eat more frequently but less volume each time.  Other than that she plays a lot and is just a happy baby.

She will be put on a couple of preventative antibiotics soon that are given even if she doesn't have an infection, but they can't be given too close to her 8th day when she got her Bortezimab. It doesn't mix well with antibiotics.

So we are just waiting still for her counts to go down to zero and then start to climb back up again.  Thanks for all your prayers.
