At the Hospital for Treatment

Here we sit at CMC! What a long day! As usual, Kayleigh's been quite the trooper! She amazes me more and more everyday! We arrived at 7:30 this morning. She was taken back for her lumbar puncture around 11:30. She did well during the procedure. The "loopy" meds placed her in a jungle with a monkey wrestling her and she won. :) Once back in her room, nausea kicked in. She never got sick thanks to nurse TK comforting her and talking her through it. She wasn't even Kayleigh's nurse today but stopped by many times to check on her. All of the staff here at CMC is wonderful! Since the lp, Kayleigh's had two different chemotherapies (1 push, ara-c, 1 infusal, cytoxan). She's now receiving a 4 hour flush of fluids to clear the cytoxan so it doesn't harm her bladder/kidneys. She has about an hour left and should finally be discharged around 6:00. A homecare nurse will be visiting our home for the next three days to give her a dose each day of ara-c so she'll be leaving here accessed.
