Day 1 In the hospital

Emma was admitted today for her last in-patient treatment. Although we are very excited to get it over with, we are completely wiped out from the long day! We knew it would be a challenge to keep Emma occupied, but Jonny and I are exhausted. Since she is constantly walking around the room and the halls, it is our job to chase her around with the IV pole. And Emma doesn't give us any warning when she takes off, she just goes : ) We have decided to take shifts so we can each have a break. We would have more visitors, but because of the weather it makes it dangerous to travel. But her Nana and Gramps came up for about an hour today to visit. That was nice!

Emma has completed her first chemo for the day and will be on a rescue drug for 4 hours and then fluids all night. This will clear all of the chemo out of her system so it won't damage anything. Emma usually tolerates this chemo very well, except it will probably make her hair fall out again. I don't mind her little bald head, but I'm so ready to do her hair in pigtails : )

I think we are going to all turn in early tonight! Goodnight everyone!
