November 30 to December 6, 2009
Alisha will be entering the next phase of treatment (Interim Maintenance), which will last 56 days. Interim Maintenance will begin on Monday, December 7th if she makes her platelet count as well as the Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC). During this phase, she will be getting an increasing dose of IV Methotrexate every 10 days, which unfortunately causes mouth sores in a large percentage of patients along with various other chemo drugs.
Every morning, Alisha rushes downstairs and counts the number of presents under the tree and tries to sway her Mom in letting her open up presents. She also asked why Santa brought her and Ashley's presents early...Santa is busy and starts present deliveries early; however, presents will be taken away if they become naughty. Alisha proceeded to ask if Santa can "deliver a lot of food to the starving children in Africa" as presents for those unfortunate kids. She is quite compassionate and has regularly donated books and toys to non-profit organizations or the hospital.
