Better

Three days chemo down and Elizabeth is doing so much better than she was when I last wrote. Thank you for the prayers!! We've had to do a lot of trial and error with the nausea meds and it seems like we're pretty close to figuring out what works best for Elizabeth, so hopefully we can get it all sorted out and avoid miserable nausea next time she's here getting chemo. We can't eliminate it totally, but we can get her comfortable enough to be able to relax and eat. Yesterday morning we had a small fiasco with Elizabeth's IV tubing malfunctioning and the poor girl woke up with her back covered in IV fluid and blood😝 just a little blood, thankfully, but such a mess a so miserable to get her changed and comfortable and all of her personal pillows and blanket washed.  She worked briefly with PT and OT using her new leg braces and was able to stand up briefly using a walker and support. She just worked on marching in place a few times and even though it was a challenge, she pushed through. She is so tough! We already knew that, but it's even more impressive now than ever before. We enjoyed really nice evenings Tues and Wed with Dave coming up for dinner and it felt almost normal....eating, laughing, watching shows together. I feel so grateful for these moments. Elizabeth's just starting her day off eating breakfast. She'll get chemo at 1:45pm today.
