PEG Shot Update

Just wanted to let you know that Kayleigh did quite well with her PEG shots today.  I did find out that they are part of her chemo treatment.  We put a special cream called EMLA cream on her an hour before we went.  This cream numbed her and helped a little with the surface pain, however it didn't help with the internal pain and burn.  She let out only a little scream like the nurse told her to, in fact the nurse yelled with her.  LOL :)  After a few tears and an hour of monitoring, she was released and we went to pick up her latest craving, soft tacos from Taco Bell.  I know not the most nourishing lunch, but we're just happy she's wanting to eat, thanks to the steroids she's currently on.  She seems to be doing okay this evening, just a little tired, sore legs, and funny feelings in her head (the hair loss process is further happening :( ).  Her next appointment will be on Thursday and will involve two different chemotherapy infusions.
