Stuck to the screen

Emily is almost done with the methotrexate, at 1o she will switch to IV hydration. She actually get saline and %5 dextrose for "nourishment". Emily is still not feeling well but hasn't thrown up in a few hours. They are now fighting the naseau with Ativan, Zofran and benedryl. Emily is just lost in her TV today, and very quiet. She didn't want to talk to me on the phone, and isn't talking much with Tracy. At home we try our hardest to limit the TV and access to screen time, but in the hospital all bets are off, especially when she's feeling like crud. We can't wait for that hydration to start. Like last time they are going to increase the rate of her IV pump to clean her our quicker, and to help protect her kidneys and other impacted organs.

We lost the private room already. At least we got one night alone.

Sometimes, TV good....

I'm sure Emily's square TV eyes will become round again soon. It's good to have all bets off when things get rough.

We pray this time will pass soon!

Lots of Love and Prayers,
Auntie Diana ~^..^~ and Uncle Marty
