    Been at the hospital since 8am this morning, just got home so I could get us all packed and ready to go down to the U of MN. Unfortunately Hailey has relapsed. She will be undergoing a minimum of 4 months of hard chemo and losing her hair yet again (was hard enough when she was 9, can't imagine at 12 and dealing with puberty).

    Their goal is to get her back into remission as soon as possible. The sooner they get her into remission, the sooner they will be able to start the next phases of treatment. Normally we would only have to go to the U of MN for the transplant part of this process, but Hailey has agreed to be in a trial, which will add a drug to her treatment regimen and it isn't available where we are at. Luckily, it's only for the first month (8 doses) and we're not too far away (2 1/2 hours give or take traffic).

    I don't have any further info on success rates or anything at the moment, as soon as I have any more information, I will be sure to let you all know.

    Thanks again for all of your love & support!

    Quick update. Hailey will be inpatient for the next 36 days. She will have no immune system at all so they need to make sure she's in as safe an invironment as possible. We do have a room at the Ronald McDonald house, so that is a godsend, but my husband and I are working out a schedule so we can both continue to work at least part time and spend time with our son. Right now he is staying with my sister, nephew & father. He will be down to visit this weekend. He's still our best hope for a donor match. If he does not match, this hospital uses cord blood for the stem cells which will rebuild Hailey's bone marrow.

    Right now I'm taking things block by block (each block is 36 days). Needless to say, I have moments where I'm fine and moments where I'm scared ****less. She's being a trooper. Chemo will begin later today. I'm very VERY impressed with the amount of information the relapse specialists have provided to us. We will be talking to the transplant doctors very soon and getting even more information. Sometimes I wonder if my brain will hold it all.

    I'm trying my best to watch what I'm putting into my face, but when you have to duck and dodge and grab something quick here or there it is quite hard.

    Don't add weight loss to your stress list right now. You have enough to worry about with your daughter's illness and having to work and spend time with both of your kids. We are all still here to support you regardless of whether you are dieting or not. Big, big hugs and many prayers for you. Your daughter sounds like a special girl, and you seem like a very special mom. So glad to hear that you have a place to stay at Ronald McDonald.

    Sorry to hear about your daughter. My thoughts are with you and hope she hasn't relapsed. I'm a bone marrow donor and I'm hoping one day that someone will call me to help someone like your daughter who is in need! :flowerforyou:
