At Home Again


Finally after spending 17 days at the hospital, Odette was able to come home on Thursday. She always gets excited to get in her car seat at the hospital because she knows she is going home-the only place she goes anymore other than the hospital!

She did do pretty well with this last round of chemo. She ended up having a fever for a few days and we found out that she has pseudomonous- a grahm negative bacteria that is just part of your normal flora, but very harmful when you don't have any immune system. She did eat well this go around, and we even got her to drink some out of a sippy cup! Her favorite food currently is mashed potatoes with chicken gravy- she is one of my kids!!

We go back to the hospital on Wednesday to get, in mine and Kens opinion, the worst chemo ever- high dose metheltrexate. I hope and pray that her body is stronger this go around and it doesn't have such awful affects as last time.

For now, we will forget that we are going back and enjoy a few happy, relaxing days at home.
