Esha is doing well and continues to go for her monthly labs and physical check ups. Once every four months, she gets her bone marrow checked, to make sure everything is fine. She loves attending school (2nd grade) and being in the company of her friends. She is eagerly waiting for Spring, so we can get started with planting the vegetable and plant garden :)
Esha's brother Sohan turned 6 yrs, last month and he is in kindergarten.
I apologize for not updating the blog in a while now and again thanks for checking on us.

Nov 1st update
Just a quick update that Esha is doing good and continues to go in for labs and gets iv antibiotics every month. She gets a bone marrow testing done, once every 3 months.
Esha started 2nd grade last Sept and is enjoying every bit of school and friends. Her brother Sohan, started Kinder Garden. For the Halloween yesterday, she was dressed like a cowgirl and went trick or treating. Her brother was a Motor bike racer. She didn't get to do trick or treating for the last few years, as her counts were always low from all the Chemo she got. She is excited that she got a lot of candy and she was in turn very generous to the kids that came by to our house for trick or treating. She asked them to pick candy from the bowl, as much as they wanted and kept refilling the bowl :)

Aug 30th update
Esha turned 7 on Aug 8th. She was very excited about her birthday and we had a small party for her at home with a few friends and family members. She is doing well and continues to get iv pentamidine, labs and physical check up, once a month. She finished her chemo at the end of June. She gets her bone marrow checked once every four months.
Esha is ready to start school next week. She will be going into 2nd grade. Her brother Sohan will start Kindergarten. They are both very excited about school and are all set to go. So far, we all had a fun summer. Esha and Sohan are busy learning swimming and tennis this summer/fall. They are done with their school shopping and are really looking forward to start school. Recently, a friend of Esha (Roni) visited us along with his family from Israel and we all had a ton of fun with them. It was a very exciting reunion for all of us, after almost 3 yrs.

July 2nd 2010 update
Esha finished her chemotheraphy at the end of June, as per the protocol. She is doing well and would continue to go for iv antibiotics and labs, once a month. She will also be getting bone marrow tests done every 4 months. She had been through a rough 3 years (almost) of chemo and its terrible side effects, since Sep '07. We are hoping and praying that she continues to do good.
Esha finished her first grade and is moving onto 2nd grade, this fall. Her brother, Sohan will start Kindergarten. They are both enjoying the summer and are busy with tennis and swimming lessons and the long bike rides.
With the chemo done now, we feel nervous that her safety net is gone, but she has to come out of it sooner or later. Please continue to pray for her continued recovery and thanks for being with us through this difficult journey.
Esha and Sohan have lost a whole bunch of teeth between the two of them and look super cute with lots of gaps in their mouths. They are keeping the tooth fairy super busy !!
Happy 4th of July everyone!!
