Lia had her chemo treatment on Wednesday, and has been a little under the weather this week.
Her hemoglobin came back at 8.3 and that was not good news. At 8 or less, Lia will have to have a blood transfusion. So we are hoping that next week Lia's hemoglobin result stays the same or improves.
She is trying to be her normal "smiley" self, but she looks very tired, one eye is dropping a bit (that's muscle and nerve weakness from the chemo drugs), and she is just very lethargic today.
The doctor says we should expect her side effects to really become more apparent now that Lia is well into her treatments.
We still have about 8 weeks until we get a new MRI to see if this first round of chemo has caused the tumor to shrink at all.
Lia's head measurement was once a gain larger...that is not a good sign.
Let's hope that the next few weeks of chemo are very productive in reducing the tumor's size.
Don't forget that there is a benefit Bowl-A-Thon for Lia on October 25th!

You can even download and distribute fliers to help us publicize the Bowl-A-Thon!
THANK you for all your kind words, cards, and donations.
Good Morning.
Lia has a short break until she begins the chemo treatment next week, so we are sanitizing the house, preparing to move Lia's Aunt Jessie into her dorm at Stetson University, and re-arrange the house for Lia's comfort. Lia's Uncle Cody has an exploratory surgery scheduled for the day before Lia's chemo, and Aunt Jess has to be moved into her dorm on the same day! Things are always so busy around here.
In spite of all that is going on, I did get to work on some new graphics for Lia's benefit. These can be used on fliers, t-shirts, website, etc. I will upload the new fliers too. Keeping things fresh might help to keep people interested in Lia's cause. Not to mention it is kind of therapeutic for me!
If you'd like to use any of these graphics, you can copy them from here, or you can e-mail me at LiaWarrensford@hughes.net and I will send them as an attachment.
I have also made three new flyers using the new graphics above, and another fyer that is in a layout to allow it to be wrapped around a donation can. Here are links to those:Flyer # 3 - Click Here

NOTE: These are Word files, and they should auto-open in the Word program, so it may take a few minutes to download. Please be patient.
