Our 6 year old daughter Esha was diagnosed with Philadelphia chromosome positive ALL (Accute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) on Sept 18th, 2007, right after she turned 4. We plan on using this blog to inform friends & family about her current medical condition.

June 16th update
The trip to Disneyland got canceled unfortunately, as Esha developed low-grade fever, the night before the trip. We were all very disappointed, especially the kids. She still continues to have mild fevers (between 99.5 to 100.5F) since the June 11th. Her white counts are low, which is probably what is causing these fevers. Platelets and Heamoglobin are fine. She is somewhat tired but is doing good otherwise. Esha is not on any oral chemo meds for the last 6 days, due to low white counts. We were instructed to get her admitted at the hospital if the temps go above 101.5. So she is home and is fighting this off on her own (no antibiotics). We will do the Disney trip at a later point when she gets back to normalcy.

We are so sorry to hear your trip was cancelled. I am hopeful you can reschedule after Esha gets into more of a regular routine with these oral chemos. I will be curious to see what the doctor decides about the oral methotrexate. It is my hope and prayer that they can find a combination of drugs that will achieve the desired results but stil allow Esha some time to have fun just being a child.
Sincerely,
Teresa & Katherine
Aww, I'm sorry about the trip, but I'm sure Esha will be feeling better again soon! Then she will be able to go and have soo much fun seeing Mickey Mouse or the Disney princesses! I know I would!:D Sending Esha and Sohan a big hug. I hope Esha's fevers go away soon and that she will respond very well to her medications.
Love always,
Anna
