Emily started second grade today. She woke up feeling very nervous about going to school, however by the time it was time to leave the house she seemed pretty excited. We met her teacher yesterday so Emily at least didn't have to worry about that part.
She is starting to feel the effects of this round of chemo. She was very tired yesterday, falling asleep at times she normally wouldn't. She also is starting to complain of stomach aches, which we expect from the Dexamethasone.
Tomorrow we have to go in for a clinic visit and she is going to get one of the 6 shots she has to get in this phase. It's one of those IM shots to her thigh that caused so much pain and anxiety in phase 1. She has so much to deal with, but we can keep her going by reminding her that maintenance is getting closer and closer every day.

Might be time for this tee shirt.
When it gets hard, a little humor from folks who "get it" can really help.
Wow!! We are so proud of you starting 2nd grade :) How exciting. We hope you had a wonderful first day.
I'm glad the first day of school went well. Way to go, Em! I hope you like your new teacher, and I hope you get to sit next to some friends.
