It's amazing how fast your life changes in an instant! Looking back to last year, we were celebrating summer and looking forward to all of the activities we had planned! This year is so very different as each week is driven by Mia's chemo schedule and blood levels! Unfortunately, it is a means to an end but still doesn't make it easy especially on the kids! With that being said, the boys are excited to be out of school and ready to start their summer vacation!
Anyway, Mia is having a very difficult time with the steroids and has been miserable. She received her last dose last night. Needless to say, the past week has been tough. She's been crying and screaming on and off all day and in my arms. She doesn't want to play or even walk. Her doctor is hoping that these nasty side effects that are making her feel so horrible will wear off in 4-5 days! We are hoping its sooner than that! If her levels are ready next week she will start the 2nd half of this 57 day cycle and will get 2 spinal taps each a week apart and the chemo injections I have been dreading along with some other chemo drugs. Please pray that it's not too tough on her! Thank you as always!
