After 2 hospital stays in two weeks (caused by fevers and ANC being too low), 21 days of her port being assessed, 21 days on antibotic's through her port every 8 hours, 21 days without chemo, 21 days with her ANC under 300, no school for a month, her little body has finally recovered and her ANC jumped to 1600. This is a big jump for us and is actually in the normal range (1500-8500 is normal ANC), but this means back on chemo that will drop her counts, but they never want them to drop as low as they have been and goodbye to the every 8 hours antibotic's.

Yesterday, we had her 2nd doctor's appointment while on the maintenance phase. She had Vincristine through her port. We start back on steroids for 5 days, 6mp every day and instead of 12 pills on Thursday they lowered it by 75% and she'll have 9 pills every Thursday. Yesterday was probably one of our better appointments. She teased and interacted more with our favorite nurse Tricia and it went fast. They are so good there and we will be forever grateful for their care and devotion to helping Avery get better. Avery did have to change her clothes to go in the hospital (she won't wear the clothes again that she wears in the hospital)  and had to have a bath as soon as we got to Rachelle's house, but she did so well.

Happy times:  We did stop at Make a Wish to start declaring her wish. Fun times. I will finish writing about this later.
