Update

Bubbles!
Two surgeries & penrose drains later, Tillie's infection is under control & she is able to move around again & venture of her room to see the aquarium, visit the animatronic dinosaur & play in the playroom.  Chemo treatments began again today & options are being discussed for how to take another bone marrow sample & treat her spinal fluid when her back is no longer an option because of the draining infection.  Both are to see if leukemia cells are lurking in those areas -- research has shown that patients who's spinal fluid is not directly treated experience a 60-70% recurrence, so this will be a part of her treatment also.
Walking to the playroom with "Harvey", her IV tower.
