Emily had a really good weekend. She was doing a lot more walking than she has in a long while. She doesn't have much energy but she is in a good mood. This morning we all went out for breakfast. That was the first time since this all started with Emily that she had been out for a meal or really out for much of anything. This afternoon she mostly rested and watched TV, but is much more talkative than in weeks past.
Tomorrow the plan is to access her port for the first time which is supposed to be painful. With have Lidocaine cream for her Lovenox shots, and we will put it on the port access site an hour before the appointment. The plan is for Emily to have a blood transfusion tomorrow to give her more strength for Phase 2 of Chemo which starts Tuesday.

So good to read about Emily having a good weekend! Hoping tomorrow will go as planned and that she will not have to endure too much pain. Sending lots of love, Jane.
It put a big smile on our faces to hear that Emily had a good weekend. We will be thinking of you today and hope it is not too painful for her.
I'm so happy to hear that Emily had a good weekend. I hope today goes really well...I'll be thinking of you.

Thanks for sharing this good news. I know you early birds like to go out for breakfast, so I'm glad that tradition was revisited, and that Em had a refreshing weekend.
Thinking of you all!

I hope the transfusion goes well today and Emily can rest up for the next round of chemo. And here's to many more family breakfast outings!
Lots of Love,
Patrick & Leah
