A site to provide updates on Jillian Moore's fight against Stage 4 Neuroblastoma Cancer

Jillian update 9/26/13

Good morning troops, I have an update on Jillian. Dr. B came in for a visit with us this morning. Her labs still do not look good. Her WBC is coming up now finally but super slowly. We are hoping that she will be good to go for that stem cell harvest on Monday. Until then we sit here at the hospital and wait. She can’t be up walking the halls like she usually does; we did that the other day and her Vas Cath (the fat line they put in on Sunday for the dialysis) started to bleed giving us all quite a scare. So now my poor baby has to be confined to her bed. She is SUPER Neutropenic now anyway and prone to infection so it’s probably for the best that she is not out in the halls walking. But I know her; being not so active (I feel) is playing a big part in her recovering so slow. I hate this waiting game. In the mean time she needs another transfusion today. No wonder she feels bad and is not eating, her Hgb is very low. We also finally received the test results from her bone marrow aspirate. Doc took 2 samples (one from each hip) and one side came back clean – no cancer. But the other side still shows a c lump of cancer cells still there. Doc was hoping for both sides to come back clean. He is not overly concerned because as of now, she is still responding to chemo. With that tumor shrunk down to 24% and just a small cluster of NB cells left in her bone marrow, we are are on the right track. So we are still here at the hospital continuing our fight and no definite time frame on when we can come home. The good news did come from Make A Wish…They are planning our trip to Disney World in Florida for November 16-22 and we are going to stay at a very special place called Give The Kids The World. So we are very excited about this much needed vacation. For now, keep praying.

Much love CIC momma
