Today was finally the day, Hannah started Round 5 of her chemo. It was a fairly normal day in the clinic, she was accessed with much fear and resistance, even more than usual I think due to the fact that she hasn't been accessed in quite a while. After everything got settled, she started her chemo quickly. We had to have 4 hours post chemo hydration due to the effect this drug can have on her kidneys. She watched a video, played some video games, took a nap and ate some pretzels.

We arrived back home about 5pm. She slept a good part of the way home. She is feeling generally sleepy and not up to par, but no sickness. I started her hydration about 6pm, and we're having a sleepover tonight in the living room. This hydration runs until 6am, at which time we will get up and leave again for the clinic. It is two very long days in a row, but better than being inpatient.

Yipee Hannah -

You are now halfway through. From now on you will be rounding the corner to home base - just like the yankees!

You are doing great - and keep thinking that the glass is now officially more than halfway full!!!

Love
