Makenzie will have another surgery on Monday. This one should be a little quicker and easier. The neurosurgeon will insert another shunt to drain the water that is collecting between the outside of her brain and the inside of her skull. That water has begun to put a little too much pressure on her brain so it is time to get rid of it. She should only be in the hospital until Tuesday and probably back at school that same week. Pray for a smooth, complication free surgery.
Chemo is going OK. She feels good, but this chemo affects her blood counts a little more, especially her platelets. She has had to have a couple of platelet transfusions. MRIs how the tumor has been stable since surgery in April.
We still need to report on and post some pictures of summer vacation... it was loads of fun. Soon!
