ZOFRAN- our anti nausea medication, every 6 hours.
METHOTREXATE- our chemo drug of choice as of this stay. 24 Hour drip
HEAVY DUTY GLOVES- our protection against the nasty chemo
BIOTENE- mouth wash; good oral care will help prevent "mucositis" or horrible mouth sores
SANITIZERS- lets just say, germs be gone. We sanitize over and over and over again.
THE CATHETER- our new best friend; somewhat of a beast to deal with, but we are grateful that it has saved Evalette's skin from irritation from the chemo.
IV LINES- constantly in use; they tend to get tangled with the catheter line, but we manage.
THE STETHOSCOPE- the doctors and nurses use this for their assessment of Evalette multiple times a day. Usually she slaps their hands away...she prefers not to be touched. But she is learning and someday might become a doctor herself.
HOSPITAL FOOD- Ravioli and "Fresh and Juicy" smoothies are the going favorites right now.
HOSPITAL GOWN- chemo drugs stain clothes...enough said.
FOOD STAINS- litte girls stain clothes when they spit out their food; chemo makes food taste yucky.
ROCKING- our favorite place where we rock and rock; sometimes all day long.
VISITORS- we love visitors. They brighten our day. Grandpas, grandmas, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, or anyone. Welcome all. Come and play!
FACETIME- We enjoy video chatting with grandma and grandpa and daddy and the boys. Technology is wonderful!
Sometimes we are sad, frustrated, not feeling good, and tired of being poked...
Sometimes we are silly, make faces, and play with toys
But usually, we are just plain adorable, happy, and deal with it all like champs!
HAPPY SUNDAY!
Thank you for sharing your POSITIVE Journey with us!
