Yesterday Lilly said, "I'm so excited to go to clinic tomorrow!" It's pretty sad when she gets excited to go to the hospital. But, that's where her friends are. That's where we spent a lot time of last year... We're hoping this year there will be a lot less hospital stays, but we love to see Lilly's nurses and doctors who have become part of our cancer family.
We didn't go to clinic around Christmastime, so Lilly took a few gifts with her today. She was so excited to give her gifts...
Ever since Lilly first met Dr. Doug, she has always said he looks like Prince Eric from "The Little Mermaid." We thought he should have a doll to remind him of Lilly's undying love! ;) We LOVE Dr. Doug, but Lilly still thinks he needs to shave his hairy face!!
Dr. Engel isn't Lilly's primary doctor, but we have grown to love him as well. We see him often and Lilly has decided that he kind of sounds like Mike Wazowski from "Monsters University."
I love to see Lilly get so excited over giving gifts rather than always receiving. It makes my heart happy!!
Clinic was good today. Lilly only had to get one chemo drug (Vincristine), and her numbers are where they need to be. She didn't have to have a spinal tap today - that was nice. She starts the dreaded 5 days of steroids again. It's good because she has an appetite and wants to eat, but it's bad because of the dreaded "roid rages." And believe me, they're REAL. But, we take it a day at a time because that's how we get through it. Happy New Year to everyone who's been following Lilly through this journey!! 2015 is going to be GREAT!
Sounds like a good day. I'm with Lilly dr. Doug could use a shave. Love the reactions of the doctors faces.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see that Lilly is doing so much better and that she only had to receive just one drug. My mother also had to go through chemo therapy when she was much older, so I know what a toll it takes on the body. I hope that Lilly finds the strength to push on and all the best.
