I am just so proud of Meredith. Last week, the night before chemo, Meredith said: Tomorrow, I am going to sit very still so the butterfly doesn't hurt as much. As I have described, the butterfly (port access) is very traumatic. Try as I might, I could not get her to sit still and we end up having to hold her down and it is a terrible situation. A few times ago, they had to bring in some reinforcements. Maybe this made the difference, because last week, she did an amazing job. She sat so still and I was able to hold her hands just like we were taking a nice walk. It was really wonderful and most importantly, it was best for her.
She has been tired a lot lately and only went to school for a few hours 2 days this week. We have been laying low. She spent the afternoon with her favorite little cousins, Layla and Hudson and had a great time. She has a short chemo on Tuesday and then another long chemo next week. The long chemos have been affecting her harder lately, so our fingers are crossed that it goes easier this time.
Thank you all for the support. Just a simple question like: how are things in your house, makes such a difference to me. It is really wonderful to have people who care. I am so very thankful.
