Just a recap

We spent last week at Primary Children's getting her ultra doses of chemo. Emma did very well and was not sick at all (just tired). She and I had a good time together... lots of crafts, reading, movies and a 12 hour (no, not 12 episode) marathon of Wizards of Waverly Place (medicate me please).

The days seemed super long this time around, but certainly not without traffic. Everyday we'd meet new doctors, nurse practitioners, physicians assistants, child life specialists, parent helpers, nurse's assistants, sleep therapists, dietitians and more! These people would come in at all times (even interrupting Wizard episodes, the nerve) and ask questions, want to check on Emma, or just hang out. You would think this might be fun, but it's exhausting.

Emma needs to get an injection everyday while we are at home. It's just to get her white blood count back up so she can try to fight off any illness she might get. Stephanie will come over to give it to her. The hospital staff trained me how to give a shot on an orange, but seriously, it's not my thing. Thank goodness for Steph. Even though it's not her favorite thing, she's at least done it before.

We will be home until January 20 at which time we will go back to PCMC for the same regimen (does that sound like I'm in the army?) that we just finished.

Until then she will be getting her shots, taking her pills, staying away from germs and losing her hair.

Thank you for all, all, all of your help. I want you to know that miracles happen every single day in my life and in the lives of my family members. I know Heavenly Father is watching out for me and loves me and each of you.

Thank you for everything.
