Good and bad news to report tonight. First the good: Hayden did much better with nausea today! Not nearly as much throwing much as yesterday, no blood in it, and she even got up to put on her T-Rex costume from grandma mullaney & take a trip to the playroom!!
Bad: the blood culture is positive for an infection :( very scary for us. You don't want to hear that your baby has a blood infection ever but especially not now. The nurse told us it's a staff infection and it's fairly common and easily treated, just means an extra 7-10 days at the hospital :(
Her nausea was better today but her fever is a little out of control. It hasnt been resolved yet and I know its draining her and making her feel more yucky than she should. Please pray that this infection is resolved very soon and she feels better in the upcoming days. Tomorrow is her last day of actual chemo for this round, I just hope she does well. We have to wake her every 2 hours to pee and it just makes me feel terrible bc she doesn't feel good, she's burning up and she doesn't want to go. She hasnt eaten or drank anything in 2 days and constantly has the hiccups.
I wish I had more positive things to report. She did just wake up and ask to watch dinosaur train and to color! Which is really wonderful except for the fact that it's 12 and we're exhausted! :) oh well!!
We have to remember that everything is going to fine. Hayden is strong and she'll get through this round and the next two. God is an amazing god and healer and is healing Hayden everyday. At times it might not some like it but we have to have faith that this is how it's supposed to be and that he is always one step ahead. If anything we can be reassured the chemo is working bc we can see the effects. We also have to remember that there are other forces out there trying to break our faith and we have to remain strong in what we believe.
Psalm 46:10 be still and know that I am god
