| Sadie getting ready to have her port accessed this morning |
We arrived at the hospital at 8am. Sadies port was accessed right away and her fluids were started. Since she is receiving such a high dose of chemo she had to be hydrated for a minimum of six hours before she could receive it. She started her 24 hour drip at 6pm. She is peacefully sleeping right now, and as of this moment she has not gotten sick yet. We try to keep anti nausea meds in her around the clock while she is recieving treatment, but most of the time she vomits anyways. It could be worse so I guess it helps some. She had a pretty good day all in all, it is not easy keeping a three year old entertained when she is confined to only one floor of the hospital. Once chemo starts she is a prisoner to that 4th floor we call our second home. On the plus side, we got the only room on the floor that has its very own shower. It was truly the highlight of our day. Most rooms don't even have there own bathroom, so we are living the high life now lol. Maw is here with us for a few days, so that helps alot. Sadie never lets her out of her sight when shes around. We have to tell her that maw has to poop just so she can leave the room to step outside, go make coffee, etc. So....needless to say, Sadie thinks her maw has the craps all the time. Hahahaha LMFAO. Sadie tells everyone that her maw is pooping hahahaha. My mom gets so embarrassed. To Connie, thank you for the wagons you donated to the hospital today. The kids love them and it is so cool to see Sadie and your fathers names on them. I learned alot about you today, you are amazing.
Keep fighting Sadie because I am fighting right along with you only in the outside world. I am so excited about this blog, I love it...Love to you all...
ReplyDeleteSo yesterday I had to drop Sadie and jess off for the start of another chemo treatment. Drop them off? Yes I know it sounds crazy but I had to work. It was very hard for me to do but I knew I had to do it Sadie needs insurance and the bills just don't seem to care about the situation so until we win the lottery work I must. As I drove away I dried my eyes and asked god as I always do please watch over them and gaurd them while I cannot. I knew Sadie had to b hydrated for six hours before she started chemo so I hoped to make it back in time and oh ya she started treatment when I returned. She had a good night woke up to potty an couple times as always from fluids and woke up gaggy once but did well. I worked again today hated being away again but gotta do what I gotta do for us. She had a fun day doing craft projects in the play room and I returned from work in time to take her outside after her treatment finished. Now we wait for her to clear the chemo to a safe to go home level hopefully it will go faster this time we spent almost 6 days here last time. Thankful as we are for this place and the people there's no place like home................
ReplyDeleteOk. Not funny but true. Sadie wants all of my attention and I am glad to give it. It took me a while to catch onto the whole maw has to poop thing and it worked for awhile till she wanted to go with me. I was able to use the I have to shower thing till we get a room with a shower in it. I have to leave the door open so she can she can see me. She has a thing with separation. I just spent two days with her at the hospital and we had a blast. We ditched mom and dad to explore parts of the hospital she had not been or didn't remember from the first month we were there. I would not trade those moments for anything. I love every second I get with her. Sometimes I catch myself just staring at her and my thoughts roam where I don't want to go. I tell her it's ok to be angry or sad, but we can't stay there long. We talk about when she is better and all the adventures we will have. My oldest grandson Ty once said to me Maw you are my heart. Now I get that. Family is all there is.
