Pretty good day overall. We had labs, provider visit and chemo today. Her counts were pretty good. Going up slightly.
RBC 27.6, Platelet 145, WBC 3.6 and ANC 1872.
The ANC being this high is especially good news as we have the MacDonald Christmas tomorrow... so lots of kids. Her port being accessed went totally smooth. It didn't bother her at all going in and or going out. While being accessed she was watching Dora and didn't even look at the needle. While being de-accessed she told the nurse how best to remove the tape holding it down :)
Immediately following lunch, we went to the park for about 30 minutes. We were surprised MJ wanted to go to the park so soon after chemo... but of course we said "you bet!" Madelyn had a hard time holding herself on the regular swing (was upsetting for her), but we were able to put her in the toddler seat so she had fun. Later in the afternoon, Madelyn helped me make a pie crust. We also took a walk/stroller ride all together on the Burke Gilman Trail to the grocery store.
Over the course of the day, she had some leg pain, jaw pain, upset stomach and dizziness. All due to the chemo. She had an episode this evening where she couldn't keep herself standing and that was scary for her. Broke my heart. She had a long day with no nap and needed to rest. So she went to bed shortly after that.
