Dad: Round 2 DING

Again, sorry for being slow, the past few days have been exhausting.  We'll get to that.  So wednesday was chemo session two attempt number two.  We were dreading it a bit more this time then we were last week, because we knew more about what we were facing.  So here's the run down.  The appointment was at 8. 

Step 1: they check her vitals (she grew another cm since last week YAY).  Then a nurse comes in and accesses her port, draws some blood, and starts running fluids through her port for 2 hours.  We did all of this fun during session 1 and yeah, dull but no biggy.  It was only frustrating because they didn't have us in the pod yet so we couldn't unpack all of the crap we brought with us. 

Step 2: they cook up a fresh batch of chemo via backlit doctors around a cauldron.  Somewhere around this point we found out that her ANC count was about 1,000 which is a huge answer to prayer.  For the sense of scale normal person has a count of 1,500 and 750 or more means we can cure cancer today.  ANC has something to do with white blood cell count...I probably should remember more than that...oops.

Step 3: IT BEGINS.  Dr. Meany drops by to say hi and some small talk.  An impressive thing considering she was scheduled to work the inpatient area that day and it was really just small talk.  But then again all accounts say that our daughter is becoming a bit of a local favorite.  Of course that’s only because she's the best one.  Anyway, then we start off with an hour of cyclofsdkf(cough).  She slept through most of this which was good.  That was followed by an hour of carboplaten (so yeah, I'm pretty proud of remembering one of the names) which we amusingly enough thought that the doctors was just giving her more fluids during that time.  And 15 minutes of doxodkjf(cough) a.k.a. the ugly red one.  Then 3 hours of more fluids which was a great time for Canasta (I'm pretty sure Debra cheated, lol). 

We got done around 5:30 rounding out rather long day.

Cambria could, potentially, be done with chemo and there are hundreds of people actively praying all over the world for that to be the case.  Our God is an awesome God.
