Cami had her clinic day again yesterday. Her counts were high enough for them to up her dose of Methotrexate again. I cringe every time they up her dose. I am terrified that it will make her side effects unbearable, but she only complained of a mild headache and leg pains for a few hours after clinic. Then she heard the neighborhood kids out playing and she was over it. No headache can keep this girl away from her friends. She amazes me!
Clinic stats:
Height: 106.8
Weight: 18kg (39.6lbs.)
ANC: 1700
This picture makes me want to laugh and cry because this is exactly how she looks when she see's any nurse coming. She automatically goes into high alert.
Checking it out.
Happy girl even when getting chemo!
The highlight of our day was visiting some of our other cancer fighting friends, who have to stay in the hospital. First we visited 2 year old Erin, she is the sweetest little thing and Cami just adores her. Erin has been in the hospital for 2 weeks now, and has an estimated stay of 35 days. We have just fallen in love with her. Erin and her Mom, Jill have become great friends. Thanks for letting us visit guys.
Next we went to see the famous Rachel Steele. This amazing girl has been in the hospital for 19 days. Her room was SO cool! They had posters, jerseys, pictures, and notes hung from every nook and cranny imaginable. Rachel's mom, Marie had all sorts of treats for Cami. Cami left there with new "Steele Strong" bracelets, a cupcake, and an orange bag of goodies. We are hoping Rachel will be able to go home by our next clinic day, but I think secretly Cami cant wait to go back again!
Hope clinic went well! That's awesome you got to go do some visits.

ReplyDeleteChase came in while I was looking at this post and he was so excited when he saw her port accessed. It just happened that he was accessed for counts and still had his line in when he saw it so he lifted up his shirt (which never happens when he is accessed) and showed me his and said, "look mama, like me!" I feel so bad for them having to get poked so much! It is sad to find joy in the fact that someone else has to do what they have to do too! Such little fighters!!!
