Maddy's counts were good on Monday, so we headed to the hospital on Tuesday morning to get started with the third chemo cycle of this phase of treatment. Of course it took all day to get Maddy ready for the chemo (hydration, pH levels, etc.). Maddy was bored so went for a walk to bug the nurses while waiting. I told them to put her to work, so Maddy helped one of the nursing assistants fill out an environmental survey. She had her clipboard and had to inspect the whole sixth floor of the hospital. At one point, I went to check on her and found her behind the nurses station filling out the survey! I'm trying to figure out if it is a good thing or a bad thing that Maddy feels right at home at the hospital... Finally at around 8:30 PM last night, Maddy was ready to start the chemo. Twenty-four hours of chemo and then we wait for her to recover. We hope she can be home for the long weekend.
Exhaustion is setting in already!
Hi Maddy
ReplyDeleteI just wonder if you won't be some sort of doctor or nurse or research scientist when all this is said and done. I'm praying you get along well with this treatment and get to come home and rest with your family over the long weekend. Did you find any bugs, spider webs or dust bunnies to report on your survey of the 6th floor?
Take care and we're still praying for you.
Love,
Mrs. Hill
