Recap – Day 2

She had a good morning. Complained of pain at the port site but she walked down the halls with mom and dad and went to the play room. We did game in the room and colored. Grandma Julie brought Parker up to see us. She chatted with them and went to the play room once more. Then we could tell she was getting VERY tired. She crashed hard right before Aunt Issa, Uncle Shane, Will and Landon got here. She slept for at least 4 hours.

She started all her meds today:
IV Chemo, Vincristine. On a schedule
Decadron, (steroid) twice a day
Zantac (helps GI tract during this process) twice a day
Allopurinol once a day to help low uric acid in the blood. All the waste from the chemo killing the blast cells.

After she woke from her long nap she had a rough evening. She vomited twice and fought us very hard on taking any meds. She was nauseous and didn’t feel well. They gave her meds for nausea and offered pain meds which she refused. This was the worst evening we’ve had. It was very challenging on mom and dad. Watching her be so sick and then trying to encourage her to take more meds that we knew weren’t going to make her feel better (today) was very hard.

One thought on “Recap – Day 2

  1. I am a friend of your moms and just wanted to say I am praying very fervently for your precious Madelyn. Thank you for sharing her/your journey so far. Praying for healing, strength, and comfort for her and for all of you. God bless you.
