Only time for a quick post tonight. I was not able to get Taylor to bed until 1:30am last night....it was such a long day. She ended up vomiting quite a bit and had a terrible stomach ache. She woke up at 6:00am screaming that her stomach hurt and vomited all over me and her. She feel back asleep until about 9:30 and then had an OK day. She has already had 3 doses of her chemotherapy and will have her next dose at 10:00 tonight. Her face has a rash all over it and the rash is starting to move to her arm...this is most likely a side effect from the chemo. I just wasn't expecting it to start so soon! Her favorite day RN took care of her today so that made her day. She had to have her dressing changed and did very well with it.
Her roommate from last night moved out (yeah) of the room today and we are now in with a very sweet girl who is a year younger that Taylor....they are getting along very well. Her favorite night RN is taking care of her so she is doing everything she can to stay awake to see her!!! She is VERY tired and complaining that her stomach hurts again.....so much fun!!
The hardest part of today was her asking me over and over again "when can we go home....I don't want to stay here." I hate telling her that we will be here for weeks and weeks!!!
Have to run....she is looking extremely pale....think she might throw up!!
More tomorrow...
Love,
Kristen

Hi Kristen and Taylor,
ReplyDeleteI was happy to read the roommate has been switched and Taylor is getting along with the new one. I am sure that good roommate can help everyone get through these tough days a little bit better.
But, I was so sorry to hear how hard this round of chemo is on little Taylor. All I can hope is that she is "puking" out that mean cancer!
As always, thank you for taking time to update us! Thinking of you all the time and sending hugs, kisses and love!
I hope tonight everyone gets more rest and Taylor's tummy begins to feel better!
Love,
Laurie T
Your spirit is amazing. Keep up the good work and positive energy. You are exactly what Taylor needs! Glad to hear you got a new roomie!
ReplyDeleteKristen- I have been thinking about all of you so much and spent a lot of time leading up to the Wednesday tests praying for good results! Although this chemo is hard on her, the good news is that she gets to have the chemo which has to be a good sign. Reading your blogs, I can tell what an amazing person you are and how much amazing support you have to get all of you through this.
ReplyDeleteKeep hanging in there and I will do the only thing I can do and keep praying!
