Diagnosis

Monday August 31, 2009

Amy took Alisha to Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) on the advise of her pediatrician. In the emergency room, a battery of tests were run to include urinalysis, blood, and chest x-rays.

The blood work came back as positive for Leukemia. Later it was pinpointed as Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, Pre-B.

She was then transferred to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) where she remained overnight. She was then transferred to the Oncology Intensive Care Unit (OICU). On Thursday September 3, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. she was transferred to the Restrictive wing of the OICU where she is currently at. This section is on complete lock down, and has a 2 to 1 nurse to patient ratio.
