We are in Children's for her 4th and last dose of the High Dose Methotrexate. This treatment phase has been really rough. Every single time we are in the hospital there are new and old challenges that kick our butt. Also, living between the hospital and home week on and off is unsettling and stressful for everyone. I can't wait to unpack, with the knowledge that I don't have to repack a week later. These are the times that I wish for a giant STOP button to push. It would be great if work, family, life, and cancer fighting could all take a time out, for just a moment, so that we could breathe.
That complaining aside, this dose is proceeding along. She got a slight fever this afternoon and is battling nausea something fierce. She mostly wants to lie still with no noise. We are roommates with an infant this stay, so it is difficult to give her the quiet part. He is a super cute baby, though, and the family couldn't be nicer.
Hopefully, we will be done with this round Monday or Tuesday and able to go home. Almost there. One day at a time.
Have been worrying about you guys. Glad to hear you are nearly there. You must be running out of mummy strength at this stage.
ReplyDeleteAww, it's good to hear it's almost over. You're such a trooper, Carrie. Remember, Keep Calm and Carry On. =]
ReplyDeleteI know you were worried about this treatment phase, and I'm so happy it's almost over. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteFiona hasn't stopped talking about seeing Hanna the other day. I'm so happy you were able to bring her to school. She is very missed.
We will continue to pray for Hannah, and hope the last couple days of this treatment pass quickly with a few side effects as possible.

There's never anything funny for me to say here but thank you for the update and hang in there! xx
ReplyDeleteI missed this one last week. I hope you guys are more settled now and that things are going well for Hannah.
