Day 5

Got her to bed a little earlier last night (she does like to stay up all night), and got a good 9 hours sleep. Her platelets were down to 6 this morning, so they did another platelet infusion. (for Ashley- she pooped again!)

Mom brought in sushi last night (surprisingly Danielle ate 6 rolls), and she finished the rest of it this morning. She’s in great spirits and very happy.

Her teacher and kids from her class all sent cards and gifts today. Two big bins of stuff, she was very happy to hear from all her classmates. Thank-you all very much for the support.  Her teacher from last year, Ms. Incrovato even sent up a nice present for Devon-he will be so happy!

Morgan got her out of bed to do 3 laps around the ward, and Danielle did them in a sprint, so she could get it over and back to bed asap. She was quite literally like a horse on its way back to the barn!

Darlene stopped in and brought an angry cat poster & BOO (cutest dog)

I’m not thinking there is anything major today, updates later.

Day 4

Danielle is feeling very nauseous today and is not wanting to eat or even sit up in bed. She says chicken noodle soup doesn’t taste right, all I can get her to eat is plain potato chips and sprite.

The doctors say that this is normal and that the chemo affects the taste buds.

 

 

Day 3

Very nauseous today, only one visit to the rest room quickly, But she’s in great spirits. Have to remember all kinds of stuff you never normally have to think about.

  • Brushing teeth to try and keep the chemo off the inside of her mouth (can get sores)
  • Wash every day, our own germs can cause lot’s of problems
  • Mom and Dad need to use gloves if touching anything body fluid (We don’t need the chemo)
  • Chemo in and chemo out is the process

On a good note, she pooped! treatment number 3 tonight at 8pm

We did get out and walk a little bit, and met a little girl – Veronica (she’s ~2 yo, very strong and very cute)
