We are 9 days into this admission, and Harper is finally starting to act more like herself! We’ve been treated to a few smiles, more talking, and even a little singing. Since reaching her TPN goals, she hasn’t been asking for food much, but she is definitely "all about" her ice chips. 

Her repeat CT this morning brought mixed news: while her typhlitis is improving, the abdominal tumor they drained has already refilled with fluid. She was cleared for clear liquids today, though she hasn't shown much interest in them just yet. 

The team is still fine-tuning her electrolytes and triglycerides via TPN. Once those are stable and she’s tolerating liquids, we’re hopeful we can head home to manage the rest. We’re still taking things one day at a time, but we are so incredibly thankful to see Harper’s personality shining through again.
