Hannah is resting comfortably. Her chemo is going as scheduled, and so far no nausea, just very tired and lethargic. Her appetite has really gone downhill since we got here, today she ate only 2 poptarts for breakfast and a bit of white rice for lunch, with a chips and salsa snack. No dinner. It's to be expected during the chemo, even though she's on Megace still. I heard her tell Grandma today to bring up some lemon cake with frosting tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes.
Her counts are about the same as yesterday, everything is holding stable. Today we spent some time working on the "100 projects kit" (thanks to Mary Kate and her mom) trying to make pom pom animals. Hannah was laughing out loud at the sorry animal we tried to make. It kept us busy for a while. Hannah was feeling well enough too to make a trip to the hospital gift shop to browse and check out everything there. We also got a visit from the Friday afternoon candy wagon called Smiles for Scott. Scott was a little boy with medulloblastoma who died at age 5 in 2005. He was treated here at Schneider's. His parents started the Smiles for Scott foundation, and this candy cart is one of the many many things they do to try to make cancer easier for kids. Candy day is a day all the kids look forward to in the hospital. Scott's mom is one of the volunteers who come around with the cart (which I find absolutely amazing and inspiring.)
Goodnight all, xoxo Kim
