Just a little update!
Everyone is healthy! Thanks to all of your prayers no one else in the house got strep throat!
Mia started chemo last Tuesday and has been tolerating it extremely well. We had a quick visit to the ER last Wednesday, but quickly figured out that being her weight dropped her anti-nausea meds were making her extremely dizzy. They adjusted her dose and she has been doing great ever since.
We had a visit to the GI doctor because her reflux has been acting up as well. The doctor upped her nexium dosage and we are back on track with that. The doctor was also pleased with her weight, especially considering everything she has been through. She is hanging right below the 50 percentile for weight which is awesome.
She is actually eating and drinking well most days. Her new favorite thing to do is drink yogurt drinks because she can drink them like Ryan and Logan and of course make a mess all over the kitchen! She also has found a new love for grilled cheese and rice krispies!
She is in great spirits. We go back to the clinic on Tuesday to check if she is in need of a transfusion, otherwise she will probably need one at some point this week. We also asked the doctor to get the road maps for us of the 2 possible 3rd rounds of chemo treatment so we can plan for the coming months.
Ryan will make his first penance this week so he is excited about that and Logan had a great time at his music class today! Both boys are doing well and adjusting to our new routines with Mia. Her hair continues to fall out and is extremely thin. We talked to the boys and they know that her blood is sick and that the medicine she is on causes her hair to fall out. We also explained that when her blood is healthy again, she will grow all new hair. They have been amazing big brothers and we are so proud of the both of them!
xoxo,
Teresa
