Feeling Better

To pick up where I left off- Maddy had her chemo treatment on Wednesday evening as planned. The chemo runs for twelve hours, so when it was done Thursday morning, they sedated Maddy to check out her central line. They discovered once they cleaned away all the blood that what they thought was the cuff of the catheter coming out was actually tissue. They were able to cut that away and resuture. She was then good to go for the next twelve hour chemo treatment. Maddy is sore, bruised, and now tired, but otherwise in good spirits. When she found out that she was not going to get out of the hospital until Sunday, she even convinced the doctor to let her escape for a little while to attend Julia's confirmation. She had to promise that she would keep drinking while she was gone. Luckily, the ceremony is at a church in Toledo very close to the hospital. We will then bring the party to the hospital. I hope they don't mind us taking over the family lounge!
