Phase 2 start

Today we are starting Phase 2 of Chemo. Last night Emily was at the hospital getting a transfusion until 9pm, and we had to be back this morning at 7am. At 8:30am she was put under for a Intrathecal injection of methotrexate. She was back in the day hospital bed by 11am, and ready to eat lunch. Next she got her Cytoxin via her port. And now she is on an IV for the next 4 hours to keep her hydrated. We should be out of here by 3:30! The side effect of today's chemo is bad nausea, so we are probably in for a long night. We have Zofran and Adivan at home to help if it gets really bad.

Emily is walking more than she has been, more and more each day. She can make it across the house, and part way back, which is a major accomplishment.

We have added new dates that we could use help with meals, the link to the Quickbase is on the left or here in this post. We have tried our best to synch it with our chemo schedule for the next several weeks.

Thank you once again for these updates. It is so hard to be away and not know. I will check dates and sign up for what I can. Love you, Grannie
