Last night was a tough one. Meri had been feeling icky off and on during the day - headachey, mostly. Early evening, she was in a lot of pain, complaining of sore legs and a stomache ache, and she was running a fever. Off to the Children's hospital ER for the night... They got to put her new "port" into use, drawing blood for bloodwork. Meri did not like it AT ALL, but hopefully it was more scary than painful. The bloodwork all came back clear (phew!) but it leaves her pain a mystery still. She's been through a lot this week with all of the testing, so the working theory is that it took a lot out of her and her body is reacting to that.
She felt better today, though still not 100%. Hopefully this weekend she'll be feeling better and better so she can enjoy some beautiful weather and Father's day. :)
Monday chemo starts - and based on how much she disliked the port being used, we are concerned about how that will go. Hopefully (there's a lot of "hopefully" right now) it will be less scary this time, and she'll get used to it quickly so at least that part of the process isn't traumatic.
