Pre-k end of year picnic |
Thursday morning we had clinic at 8:15 am and it was also
the first day of the steroid pulse.
All was going well, we got up early, gave K her meds and almost made it
to clinic on time. We were stuck
in a bit of traffic and about 5 minutes away, K threw up from the steroid in
the car. Thankfully she kept it
down long enough (40 minutes) that we didn’t have to give it to her again. I went in to clinic with K and dad went
to go clean his car. K’s counts
were good (790) so they gave her the Vincristine. Kennedy didn’t even flinch when they accessed her port.
Post clinic K had a playdate with Emily and then went to her
farewell preschool picnic at night.
Holding Daddy's hand while he gets a pokey |
Today we hosted our first blood drive and it went
great. K went to work with me in
the morning and finally got to see dad get his pokey. Friends and family from all over came which was a humbling
experience. People who swore they
would never get a pokey did anyway for K.
All together, 54 pints of blood were collected between 11am – 6pm. Next blood drive is on Friday, June 15 from 11am - 6pm.
I got home from Vegas late on Wednesday night and am happy
to be home. I had a tough time
being “on” in Vegas. The
convention is a big networking event and I could barely function, I just wasn’t
mentally there but it was still nice to get a break. Dad did great when I was gone, working with both kids on
homework and getting them to bed on time.
Overall this week has been good. We may try and take K on the boat this weekend depending on
how she feels. We’ll see how it
goes – right now it seems a bit overwhelming.
