Renting a room at the hotel California.......

Keira's white blood counts went down to zero yesterday, this means she has no ability to fight off infection. She will need to stay in the hospital until they rise significantly. There is a slight chance that she can go home this weekend. With a lot of cancers chemo gets postponed when counts are down but with leukemia they really can't skip a treatment so Keira will get chemo today as scheduled. Despite being in the hospital she is feeling great. She has a ton of energy and has found ways to entertain herself such as hiding random things, turning her I.V. tubes into a jump rope, inventing new dance moves and using her hospital bed as a sliding board. Of course, several of the things Keira has hidden belonged to her nurses and twirling tubes causes the I.V. machine to beep like mad so she is getting a lot of attention. The only thing that bums Kiki out is not being able to see her brother. Due to the flu, no one under 18 is allowed to visit. They talk on the phone which is hysterical to listen to because they are always having two different conversations and when we finally get home there will be a ton of playing to catch up on. We're hoping the chemo doesn't cause any pain or fever this time.
