There will never be a medicine or therapy as powerful as a twin

Keira came home from the hospital last night around 7PM. Over the course of 30ish hours she had five different types of Chemo therapy administered. Amazingly, she is doing great and took it all in stride. Today she woke up with what seems like boundless energy and she has been playing with her brother all morning. I uploaded a video of them being silly. It is so nice to see here playing and having fun, I was not expecting her to have so much energy and be in such great spirits. Her brother can really bring out the best in her. 

Keira's treatment road map has changed since we found out that she is not in remission. She will require more intense Chemo and the treatment course has been lengthened from 2.5 to 3 years. Her doctors fully expected her to be “good risk” but now she is considered “high risk”. This sounds worse then it is, basically her curability rate changed from 80 to 90 percent to 75. Obviously this is not what we were hoping for but it could be much worse. At this stage, they expect to be able to treat her exclusively with Chemo therapy and there is no reason to believe that she will require a bone marrow transplant or radiation. That is really good news and we'll take what we can get

As you can imagine this news was difficult for us to hear and process. We are doing the best we can to be there for Keira but if I'm being honest our little girl is lending us some of her strength. I've never met a more courageous little girl.

Keira will go in for blood transfusion on Tuesday and more Chemo later in the week. As always the positive energy and good vibes that everyone is sending us means the world. Please keep Keira in your thoughs and prayers!
