Slight road bump at start of round 5

Set backs are common and it's hard to believe Charlotte has been healthy enough to start every round so far on time. We found a site of possible infection outside of her little bottom. The small lump is very tender to the touch and after an unscheduled CT scan today to verify it was nothing major, our doctors believe after some antibiotics we could see it clear up. (Possibly caused from mucositis last week and when she went home and off antibiotics it festered). So we will stay through the weekend on IV antibiotic with hopes it starts to clear it up. If it's looking better then we will be discharged to take the antibiotic orally for a few days while it clears up. Chemo would then be postponed until later next week. Silver lining: if it looks better Sunday then we could be discharged by Monday and take her to the beach a day early returning for chemo by Friday. For now, she is being a charming goofball and in great spirits knowing again we must stay to finish the medicine in our "tubies". Thanks for prayers that this is a minor infection easily cleared up and that our girl gets to put her little toes in some sand in a few days. Lord knows she has earned a little beach vacation๐ŸŒด๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ™
