Sierra was admitted yesterday for her 4th round of dooxorubicin and cisplatin. It has always been her toughest chemo, and we have always struggled to keep the nausea and vomiting away. But we are doing pretty well this go around. She has managed to not get sick at all, and we aren't even having to knock her out like we did last time. She will recieve her second dose of both chemos tonight and then we just have to wait to go home until the docs feel her nausea is under control, so probably Monday. Sierra and I got to meet with a few ladies who volunteer for Make - a - wish today. They asked all sorts of questions and filled out lots of paperwork, and will help Sierra get the wish she wants. Right now her top choices are going to a Justin Bieber concert, and getting to meet him, and going to Disney World. The volunteers also brought her a few gifts and she is going crazy now with some Bendaroos.
We are getting more info about how we will need to handle getting a prosthesis, and we will be doing it at the Shriners in Portland where she had her surgery. So we will get to do some travelling back and forth over the next year or so, but this will allow us to work with people who have done it before and get the best prosthesis for Sis. We should be making our first trip sometime in the next month or so for her to be molded, and she has been cleared now to start physical therapy, and she is anxious to get started.
