Isis Update!!!!

Ok I can't remember where I left off. So I'll start with last week.

Last Tuesday I took Isis to the Oncologist here in Louisville. I gotta nothing but bad vibs. The Oncologist Dr. Bertolone walks into the room and the first thing he tells me is, "6 treatments of chemo won't cut it. There will have to be more." Then the jerk tells me Isis has to have a central line (a tube used to give the meds for chemo). He also tells me Isis will have to be an in patient. This is the opposite of everything I was told in Philly. Well receiving this contradicting information unsettled me. I became very pestimistic. Of course I tried to get a hold of friends but failed. I began to fell very alone. I talkeed to my mother who understand my frustration and advised me to call the docs in Philly.
Dr Scholnik in Philly was not happy with what I told him of the clinic here. Her took the clinic's number and told me that 6 treatment was all that was needed and that he was sorry that I had the rug pulled from beneath me. He reassured me and said he would call the clinic here and work with the Louisville Docc to ensure Isis well being.
Durring last week Isis was put on a shot to raise her blood count. I had to go everyday to Kosair to have Isis stuck. Five hours each day for a shot which take five seconds to give. Making matters worse Brandon came on Thurs and Fri. My only company the one person I would love to never see again. Anyway on Fri her bloodcount was really high. Ideally the white count shout be between 5 and 21. Her's was 19. Yay!! Then Isis had an eye doctor appointment. After looking into her eyes the doc informs me the really large tumor in her left eye has shunk and is out of the center of her vision!! YAY!!!!! Saturday I was a very happy kitty. At work Brandon (this one is gay) tells me it was the happist he's seen me since before we found Isis was sick.
Isis is doing really well. I still can't tell (from the outside) that she's sick. Helpfully that will stay. She smiles so pretty I would hate to see it fade and would be devestated if it were to go away. I love my baby and want her to be well. I guess its go that this is happening now so she won't remember. Though I would rather she have a regular infanthood. Crawling about and discovering the world. I guess just keep doing what you have been doing. Its working!!! Right now Isis is discovering the treasures of the garabage can. Oh shit, be right back..............................................................
Ok now she's mad at me. Oh well!

Blessed Be
Love from Isis and me.
