Well we arrived yesterday around 1:00 p.m. her door was a revolving door for awhile with all that goes on with checking in. She got settled and got her iv's started. We had a pretty rough night. We both forgot what it was like to be waken up all night. If anyone wants to come and see us we are in E850. Same rules apply as before, no plants or flowers. If you are sick we would love to see you but you need to stay away until you are better. No germs are allowed in this room. Also the hospital has requested that no children are to be up here.
They started her first dose of chemo at 5:38 am. They have to know the exact time that they gave it to her and the exact time that it finished. After it finishes they have to take blood from her every 15 minutes throughout the day. Every 6 hours she will get more chemo. The reason that they have to be so exact with this first dose is because they have to see how her system is metabolizing the chemo. After all the blood draws are done they fed ex the samples to Seattle. They look at them then let the hospital know if they have to adjust the doses for the next round of chemo. It amazes me what needs to be done to get it done right. I am so grateful for the good doctors and nurses that she has. It gives me much comfort that they know what they are doing to get Alyssa better.
We have people looking at our house but no offers yet. My patience is running out, I guess I need to have faith that it will sell when the time is right. Sometimes the Lord's time frame is completely different than mine!
