Today Kay had her second batch of chemo, vincristine through her portal and methatrexate into her spine. This is relatively light chemo. She did very well indeed and although extremely tired she has been at home since the evening, sitting cuddled up with Mama or Daddy.
Her blood cell counts were down, including her haemoglobin for the first time. She looks pale and has some lingering bruising from a low platelet count. The specialist reckons that she will need a blood transfusion later this week to boost her haemoglobin. All of this is seen as completely normal, at least in this weird world that we now inhabit.
She has promised to write something for this blog in the next days, but we'll have to see if she has the energy.

Hello Kay Granny and Granpa send our love.
ReplyDeleteGranny is at this moment practicing playing Tannenbaum on the piano. How we loved you and Natasha singing it a Christmas. You will be able to play it for us when you have music lessons. Lots of kisses, Granny & Grandpa
