We are going to the clinic this morning. I am not sure what to expect. Katie is not getting anymore chemo at the clinic during this phase and she has finished the shots and pills at home! YEAH! Now it is just a matter of getting her body back to where it needs to be, after so much chemo in a short period of time. I am hoping she won't need platelets, but we'll see.
The one thing I do know to expect this morning is accessing Katie's port. To do so, a nurse pokes a thick 22 gauge needle that is 3/4 of an inch long into Katie's chest. That needle hurts going in and hurts coming out. Naturally, Katie is afraid and upset each time it happens - me too. Scott said he will meet us there this morning. I am glad for his help and support.
"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled" (Matthew 5:6).
I am so glad she is done with the chemo. Does this mean this phase is over? I hope she bounces back, which I am sure she will. She has been remarkable through all of this! She is an amazing little girl. How blessed you are to be her Mommy! :)
