Well, Sierra did really well the last few days. I am really surprised that she managed to make it through this course of chemo with no sickness in the hospital, that is a first for her. But now we are on day 6 following chemo and the delayed nausea is finally rearing it's ugly head. Sis has felt awful today. She started out complaining of tummy pain, the n it turned into nausea, then full blown puking. She tries as hard as she can to avoid throwing up, she hates it so much, but eventually today it was too strong for her to hold back. Poor girl was miserable for a good 30min, then she finally wore herself down and was able to sleep. She hasn't been running a fever at all, which is the main thing we watch for when her counts are dropping, so for now we just keep her as comfortable as possible. She is scheduled to go in tomorrow for a check on her blood counts, but if the nausea continues today, we will have to make a call in to the doctor. We are hoping to avoid any extra time in the hospital if possible, so any prayers that can be passed our way would be appreciated.
Sierra has felt so good up until today, so we were able to get a good amount of school shopping in on Tuesday. She had good energy, and had fun picking out some cute things for next year. We are also working on a plan for Sierra's prosthesis and have some appointments scheduled in Portland at the end of August. She will see doctor Krajbich and he will OK her to begin the steps toward getting her prosthesis, Sierra is very excited to get to ride on her first airplane, she was very disappointed when our Denver trip was cancelled because she was looking for to the airplane ride so much.
