Emma will begin week 13 of her 48 week chemotherapy protocol thursday. She will be receiving Cytoxin and Mesna for 5 days. This is an inpatient chemo treatment and tends to make Emma sick the first day. We will go into the clinic tomorrow afternoon for her pre-admit and then admit thursday morning. She will then get a week off and then start the Aricie (sp?) which is given twice a day for two days and then will stay for 3-4 weeks so they can keep a good eye on her.
She has been feeling well since the last round of chemo. She got a little nauseaus on sunday and had to have a platelet transfusion on monday, but other than that she has been happy and playful. We think she has some sores in her nose from the last chemo because she has been getting minor frequent nose bleeds. I think the main thing that bothers her is swallowing the blood which makes her nauseaus. God has continued to answer our prayers and kept Emma in remission. I thank him for everyday I get to spend with her and for protecting her body from this chemo. We serve a powerful and faithful God!
Jonny's golf clubs were stolen out of his truck last week along with some tools. This isn't the first time we have had stuff stolen, but the nerve of those people to actually steal a man's golf clubs! : ) So, since then Jonny has been eating and sleeping new golf clubs. It has been very important to replace every single club as well as accessories. Today Emma and I went to Golf Galaxy with him to get the last wedge to complete his set. I was also informed that you need more than 1 wedge to complete your golf set : ) He also purchased a new towel, golf balls, hat, and a cute hat for me : ) Now he just has to find time to play!
We want to thank everyone for your continued prayers! Everytime we go out, we hear from different people that are praying for her and our family. We love to talk to everyone and how Emma's story has affected their lives.
Please pray for:
Next round of chemo
A restful stay at the hospital
Continued protection on Emma's body from chemo
Our families health
Emma to stay in remission
