Day 9 Chemo

Starting last night is the first time we have started to see that the Chemo is making Avarie not feel well. She is having a lot of stomach pain, not nausea, just stomach pain. We called the oncologist last night and he said that is normal, just to give her some more of her stomach meds and try to get through the night. She made it through okay, but the appetite has started to kick in. She woke up during the night asking if she could have top ramen in the morning. She has been eating all day, it is a wonderful change from the not eating and losing 4 pounds. 4 pounds doesn't seem like a lot for an averaged sized person, but a 4 year old that only weighs 39 pounds to begin with, 4 pounds is quite a bit. She is doing a little better with pain today, but I am starting to see the chemo taking its toll on her. She is becoming paler and more lethargic. I know she has to go through this to save her life, but it doesn't make it any easier to watch.
We didn't find out the info we were hoping to yesterday, they thought the results should be back in this next week. We will start going 2 days a week now, on Mondays for blood work and check ups and then on Wednesday for Chemo and more blood work.
We did get the donation account set up, it is at Wells Fargo in both Avarie's and my name.
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.
