Alyssa is feeling really good. She has not had any nausea for 2 days. They are going to switch her meds back to pills. They changed all they could on Sunday to iv when she was throwing up so much. They started her second round of chemo today. It is quite the process to say the least. They have to give her latex, potassium and saline iv about a hour before the chemo. They want the kidneys to start working more than usual because the chemo she is getting attaches to the kidneys and causes all sort of problems. After the latex, potassium & saline mix they give her another iv that coats the kidneys so the chemo won't attach to it. After that the chemo runs through her around 4-5 hours. Her iv tree is quite full right now. She is complaining of a slight headache but other than she is doing good. She has only ONE more round of chemo tomorrow. Hopefully that will be the last chemo FOREVER!
I am very grateful that I or anyone in my family have not been sick through all of this. I know that the Lord has blessed us in this matter. I can't imagine what we would have done if anyone of us have gotten sick.
