First 2 weeks of treatment down!

So as of today Kylie has undergone 2 chemotherapy treatments. She has done extremely well!!!!! I am so glad that so far its been ok for her. Of course she was VERY nervous the first time we went. She was afraid of the unknown, and afraid it was going to hurt her.

They gave us some numbing cream to put on her Port 1/2 hour before she goes so that she doesn't feel anything. The first time we went last Tuesday. So when we went the nurse was fantastic!! She explained everything to her before she did anything. Once she accessed the port Kylie was amazed that she didn't feel anything ( thanks to the numbing cream!!) They then hooked up the chemo meds. They gave her 2 different meds this time but that will only happen every 3rd week. They also gave her some anti nausea meds so she wouldn't get sick. This took about an hour. She was ok with it she pushed her IV pole all around and couldn't get into the play room fast enough. She did some arts and crafts, ate some snacks, and checked everything out. After her treatment she got to pick out of the toy closet! I couldn't believe all the stuff in these closets. It was donated I think that's great! Every time she gets a treatment she gets to pick out a toy. She picked out a new webkinz. She was very happy.

When we got home she wanted to rest. So she hung out watching TV and playing on the computer. She complained that her belly hurt a little but not bad. They gave us a script of anti nausea meds that she can take every 4 hours as needed. I was so relieved she didn't get sick. I think she was expecting it. Wed. she woke up ready to go to school but once it was time to get her stuff together she said her belly hurt like a "pokey belly not a sick one" I think it was nerves because then she asked what would happen if she got sick in school, poor kid. So I tried to make it no big deal I said "If you get sick you call me and you come home" So she rested all day Wed. but was totally fine. Thursday morning she said "I think I just needed to rest one more day" Off to school she went with no problems!

We had an uneventful weekend Kylie went to play at a friends house, and Savanna hung out with me and was a great helper girl going through old baby girl clothes to give away! Sunday My sister Kim and her family came to hang out all day on Sunday. It was great to see them and Kim made a yummy lasagna for dinner (score for me I didn't have to cook!)

So its again Tuesday treatment day. We took Savanna with us today. She needed to see where Kylie was going. Poor kid only knows that she has to go to a Friends house and Kylie gets to be with mom and dad and she comes home with a prize. She doesn't understand that its not fun where Kylie is going. So she came with us. Today she only had one chemo medicine she was done in about 15 minutes! She couldn't wait to show Savanna the play room and help her pick out a toy from the toy closet too! Of course Savanna thought this was great to. She picked a horse webkinz OF COURSE what else would she pick but a horse! Kylie picked out a new baby doll with a blanket and an extra outfit. After we left there we went out to breakfast then to IKEA. The girls each got new toy storage for their rooms. Then off to the dentist for Savanna she did great :) Then I had a meeting with the school to talk about Kylie. It was a good meeting the school is being fantastic and will accommodate us any way we need. We are working on setting up a tutor for when she has radiation for a month.

So busy day but its over another week down only 38 to go! ON side note a friend set up a webpage for us, and people are volunteering to make meals and bring them to us on the days of treatment. I can't tell you how nice it was to come home after a long day and not have to worry about making dinner. I can't thank Dorothy and Michele enough for bringing us Yummy dinners last week and tonight!!!!!!!!!!! It means so much to us that you guys want to help so much! I am really glad that Kylie is doing so good and hope it continues!! Thursday we go to the radiation Dr to come up with a plan. Will update everyone again after then. Thanks for all the well wishes and support it mean the world to me and Mike :)
