Day 4 Chemo

The reason I am keeping a count down as my title is because we are counting down to day 29. She will be on a solid schedule of chemotherapy for 29 days and then depending on how her body responds at the end of this round of chemo. If she responds well then she will go into the low category and chemo will be mild with occasional larger rounds. There is also an average and a high category. We really want to be in the low category, life will be easier for her in that category.
She was going to have a chemo treatment today, but they have decided to wait until the morning. The chemo drug that she was scheduled to receive today can cause kids to have an allergic reaction. She is not suppose to receive it until a full 4 days after chemo has started and since she started in the evening she could not receive it until tonight and they don't want to give the drug with out Dr's here. There are always Dr's here, but they would rather it be when her Oncology Dr. is here and not just a resident. The drug is suppose to be given between day 4 and day 6 of chemo, so it is fine for it to be given tomorrow.
Today has been pretty uneventful. Avarie has had a pretty decent day. She was actually herself for a little while when Andrea, my sister, dropped by with a couple of her kids. Avarie really perked up. She actually played and smiled for almost a half hour. Then she began to get tired. It was nice to see her perk up. It is encouraging.
Thats about all I have to report for today. We should be going home tomorrow. I am really looking forward to being at home and sleeping in my own bed and seeing my baby. I really miss him.
