December 7 to 13, 2009Alisha made count and started her Interim Maintenance phase on the 7th. Last Friday, she did not meet the required blood counts in order to move forward with the procedure this Monday. However, we pleaded to keep the appointment to see if she would actually meet the minimum blood count on Monday. The nurse last Friday was very hesitant and was certain that Alisha will not make count by Monday and urged us to take a Wednesday appointment instead.
On Monday, the nurse practitioner who performed the procedure said it's very unusual that patients recover so quickly in such short amount of time. Thank you all for your continued blessings and prayers to make the impossible a possibility. The importance of this phase is that it marks the first day of the rest of her two-year treatment as far as we understand it. Technically, December 6, 2011 should be the last day of her treatment, but we shall see if everything works out that way. We are hoping that there will not be further delays.
Whenever Alisha has a free moment, she enjoys taking pictures...look above for a picture she took of herself as well as drawing and painting.

Haha, she takes great photos! She told me she had lost 4 teeth, 2 upper and 2 lower. I guess she wanted everyone to see that through this photo. Hang in there, Alisha!
