Chemo Reaction


So, after the spinal tap it was up to get her long round of chemo (PEG-Asparaginase). She unfortunately had an allergic reaction to the chemo. She started coughing, complaining about her stomach hurting, then she began violently throwing up, and the whites of her eyes turned pinkish. They quickly stopped the chemo infusion and gave her Benadryl through her port which made her quickly fall asleep. They are currently watching her to ensure the reactions don't flair up again, since this chemo is long lasting. They now gave her hydrocortisone to help with the reaction. We've been here since 7:30 this morning and it sounds like we'll be here for a while longer. Needless to say it's been a long day.
