Round 2, Night 2

Sierra had her second dose of Doxorubicin and Cisplatin this afternoon. The plan was for daddy to stay with her so mommy could get some much needed rest. I went home and a few hours later was headed back to the hospital, the steroids that Sierra gets to help with nausea make her really emotional and she needed her mom. Atleast I got to run a load of laundry, take a shower, and, most importantly, spend a few hours with Reece and Evy.
Tonight we are going to try something a little bit different meds wise. She is still getting the same anti-nausea meds as last night, but we are also going to keep her steadily on Benadryl to see if we can let her sleep through the roughest part. I am thinking if we can get her through the next 8-12 hrs with no vomitting, we will be mostly in the clear.
Sierra got to take a bath today which David said she really enjoyed. And she has been playing video games, warching TV and napping off and on. Her attitude is pretty crummy, mainly from the steroids, she has some crazy mood swings that can actually be pretty amusing(not to her, of course). Hopefully we will be home on Saturday and able to stay out of the hospital for about 3 weeks before her next treatment.
