Carey had her first infusion treatments on Jan. 11, 12 and 13. We were first told only an hour or two but they were 6-8 hours each day. Carey did very well (don't you love her face in the picture I took. She didn't want me to take it). She had a slight fever Monday and by Wednesday her calcium levels were low which we knew would happen so she received some calcium before she left. They have everything a kid could want in this room...dvd players, Nintendo DS's and their games, movies, crayons, paper, craft items etc. We met many families who have children with cancer and they were receiving chemo. It's very sad to see and we will continue to pray for all of them.
Carey received many gifts from her friends and swim teammates to help her pass the time while she's there. Keegan made an appearance a couple days to cheer her up. The last day all the chairs were taken with kids getting treatments so I didn't bring him in since the room isn't that big to begin with. Her next treatment is February 9th.
Last weekend I took the girls and 3 friends to the Farm Show. We had fun. It was crowded but we got to eat really good food that's bad for you and watch the high school rodeo and some other events. The Farm Show is held in January every year and farmers from all over the state come out for a week long event. You can watch it on PCN.
Emma has a gymnastics meet this weekend in Hanover. No swim meets for 2 weekends but we have gymnastics meets this weekend and next. Our tree is still up and probably will be until after gymnastics and swim meets are over. Oh well.
Hope everyone is well and keeping warm. Today it's up in the upper 40s....a heat wave! Haven't had much snow here since mid-December but it's been very cold and windy. Take care everyone.
Jenn
