Chemo #2

Sunday, May 27, 2012

Tomorrow is Big D's second round of chemotherapy.  It is going to happen in the room while he is sedated because it includes the injection of some chemo into his spinal canal. He is nervous, of course, but more confidence is growing every day and the caveat of getting to go home either monday afternoon or Tuesday morning is overpowering the fear.

My brother and niece are here from Montana to lend a hand with Luca and Dill Pickle's care and entertainment.

I am so very extremely blessed with a loving, close-knit, supportive, involved, hands-on family.

GO TEAM D!!!!!

Today, Sunday is very quiet and calm around the unit.  Half of the staff are at the Kids Cancer camp that happens every spring.  There are not that many staff so it seems mellow.  Dill Pickle is feeling well, more energy than yesterday for sure.  He is eating and beginning to crave some foods (albeit not the most healthy choices but intake is intake at this point).
