Day Five


Hi

Today we only had two chemo's running and as of lunchtime tomorrow, Immie will have finished her last ever chemo, WOO HOO!!!. Immie was a little more tired today though still able to get to get a good giggle going on when Rhylee (her cousin) and her had a tickle battle..(very cute!!!). The Holmes gang from Hyden came to visit today, and also my fabulous mum and dad, so by the end of the day Immie was knackered.

The afternoon dragged on and Immie awoke with a big tummy ache, after struggling to go to the toilet she received meds to help the action and then she proceeded to chuck up...off she went to have a bath and then snuggled in her pjs and went to sleep.This was the first time we have had Immie sick from the chemo and god it was hard to watch, our invincible girl crumbling and there was nothing we could do, besides hold her hand and pat her head : (. Tonight both me and Jas will stay here with her, as Kods has gone to his dad.

So the ugly chemo is beginning to creep through her body, after tomorrow lunch, she will have three days of rest and receive her stem cells back on Wednesday. This then means it will be up to her body, and the waiting game of how long it takes to remake all the cells her body needs. Typical it takes approx two weeks to begin to see a difference in the blood counts, and about 6 weeks for them to be up at a good level.

Today is Jason's last day in his 20's...hahahahah...tommorrow he turns 30 (like off cream as my friend Margaret informs me, it is the only time you turn..any age).

Sweet Dreams


Love Fiona and Jason xx
