Round 2 Chemo DONE!

Praise the Lord!
Her blood levels have remained where we want them and they have calmed down the nausea! We hope she will get to come home later today! WOO HOO!

I apologize for not sending out another post yesterday like I said I would. I have a perfectly good explanation that I will get into later, that was all Hailey's fault!(yes, I am blaming this on a 6 year old;) Anyways, when Sleeping Beauty woke up, she was feeling much better. I put some make-up on her, put on a super soft periwinkle blue hat given to Robynn by an Amazing woman and 2 time cancer survivor Mrs. Brown. When she was all beautified, we headed for the halls! Still sore from our previous marathon, I forged on as our girls faithful "IV Pusher". I'm not sure if it came from Robynn or the good Lord himself, but someone had mercy on me and only allowed about 5 laps to take place. Whew! That was a relief! Robynn tried to eat some cereal but that didn't stay down, so we opted for some humor and watched 4 episodes of The Office as a distraction. I am ashamed to say it was quite enjoyable...off-color and totally inappropriate, but very enjoyable! While Robynn and I sat on the couch, Brian commandeered Robynn's bed. Every once in a while we would look over to find Brian snoozing and just giggle with delight. Later, we had a 4 legged visitor named Mr. Bo Jangles. He was a beautiful Australian Shepard trained to cheer up patients or just bring them some companionship for a brief moment. He worked like a charm! It was pretty funny at first, because when Mr. B. J. walked in Brian is laying in Robynn's bed. This was confusing to Mr. B. J. because Robynn was calling him over to her and Mr. B.J. is trained to go to the bed for his visit. He was unbelievably intuitive and realized very quickly Robynn was the one he was there to see. He laid by her and enjoyed his massage from our very grateful girl! It was very sweet. We let Mr. Bo Jangles owners know when Robynn would be back and asked that they come find her for another visit and they agreed.

So back to the thing that is all Hailey's fault....oh yeah....I almost forgot! Since I have been here this time, my mom has not been here to help out with the kids like before. This means Auntie gets a snuggle buddy every night! This is not the problem! Auntie LOVES snuggle buddies, but this particular snuggle buddy always wants Auntie to go bed when she goes to bed(7pm,Sharp!) As you can imagine, I have things to do when I get them to bed and reassure my S.B. I will be in soon! Last night was my last night here until I return for the blood drive, so I promised my little S.B. that I would go to bed with her! Being the sneaky Auntie I am, I was going to wait for her to fall asleep and I'd hop back up and do what I needed to do! WRONG! Once I was down...I was out and when I did wake back up I was NOT going anywhere! So that's why you did not have an update last night and why it's ALL a 6 year old, named Hailey's fault!
I blame the kid! It's my story and I'm stickin to it!


Pray On and Rejoice for another treatment down!

love to all,
