Blah

Today was a tough day. The effects of the Chemo are starting to be seen in Emily. It's very hard to observe and I have no idea how hard it must be for Emily. She has really bad leg pain. In the hospital she likes the wheel chair, at home she limps around. This is a very common and reversible side effect of one of the Chemo drugs. She is also has an upset stomach and a pale look to her. There fewer smiles from her today. That said she still managed to have some fun today and Tracy and I are constantly consoling her and making sure there is nothing more we can do for her.

Today was tough but I am trying to prepare myself for more, and actually worse days ahead. Most of us know this, but for those who don't, they basically have to poison Emily to a point where she is very sick, and they have to completely take down her T Cells, or immune system. She is at risk during this time so you won't be seeing us out in public much. Tracy and I have to try to stay away from colds too because if we get them we can't care for Emily as well.

I am really trying to prepare myself for her to loose her hair, I saw many bald children in the day hospital yesterday. It's so sad what all these kids endure. And on top of it all they have to loose their hair.

Tomorrow we will be back at the hospital for another Chemo injection. They aren't going to need to put her under tomorrow, so she's going to feel this one.
