Maddy had her blood work done this morning. Her counts are too low to proceed with her next treatment, so it has been delayed until next week. The doctors predicted this, but of course we were hoping to keep moving forward without any delays. She will have her counts checked again next week and hopefully they will be back up so she can have her treatment on Thursday. She will have to spend the night in the hospital and come home with her port accessed. Her mom and dad get to learn how to administer drugs through her port so we can do it at home for a couple of days after she leaves the hospital.
On the positive side, Maddy is feeling better these days and she is hungry ALL the time!!!!!!! Her breakfasts have been consisting of a bowl of cereal, a bagel, a cheese roll (see picture), and some MEAT of some kind. She then has a mid-morning snack, a before lunch snack, lunch, an afternoon snack or two or three, supper, and several evening snacks... We really don't know where she puts it all!
We continue to appreciate all the thoughts and prayers.

We eat cheese rolls at our house, too! :)! I am sorry your treatment is delayed! We all want this over as soon as possible!!!! Know that you are in our prayers!!! Keep up with all that good eating! It helps you be strong!! You and your family continue to be in our prayers!!!
ReplyDeleteNuts about the delay for your treatment!! Man I wish I could enjoy all that yummy food you're getting to eat but I would look like an elephant if I put all that away. Lucky You! I'll send a piece of cheesecake home for you tomorrow from the teacher's lounge if you think you might like one for a snack- you tell your mom your choice and I'll save you a piece. You can have: Lemon, Snickers. Raspberry, Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Oreo or Creme' de Menthe. I'll be praying for your counts to go up for next week's treatment.
