Mommy: First round of chemo, Day 2

Wednesday was SO MUCH EASIER than either of the previous two days this week... like whoa. The chemo was already made from the day before, she was only getting the Eto, and there weren't the hydrating fluids afterwards... so we literally got there, took vitals, plugged her up, and then were out of there an hour or so later! i'm pretty sure we were in traffic for longer than we were at the hospital. Cambria didn't sleep through this round, but she was pretty amenable. In fact, she still was hungry *during* chemo:

One of Cambria's favorite parts of this day, was when she got to see one of the same nurses from the previous day; Emily. She is one of those very special nurses that are clearly called to their jobs. Which, for her, specifically is pediatric oncology. She is SO sweet, and has such an amazing heart for these kids. Cambria is totally in love with her, and I'm pretty sure it's mutual. in fact, she tracked us down on Thursday to be Cambria's nurse for day 3 as well.

We came home to a real treat this day... I don't know if I had mentioned previously, but Derek's Grandparents, Aunts, and Uncles all pitched in towards getting us a cleaning service  - so that there was one less thing we'd be having to deal with. Today was the first day they came. WOW what a difference a clean environment makes!!!!! I know it sounds silly, but I could feel my shoulders unknot a little when I came in. Now, the time they had to come was literally our appointment time, so thankfully, our friend Rene agreed to come and help wrangle the dogs and answer the cleaning crew's questions. This way, we literally left head down and shoulders set for chemo, were surprised by a super quick and easy day at the hospital, and came home to a clean house, with a friendly face waiting for us. WIN!!!!!!! Such a set of blessings!
