Awaiting central venous line surgery and spinal tap. They plan to admit her to start chemo tomorrow. Thank you for your prayers. God is our great healer!
Surgery went well today. Rosie doesn't like having an Central Venous Line on her chest but she's enjoying the new toys they gave her.

~Rosie had a good morning with breakfast and play time. Having a nap now while they start chemo.
~Rosie's almost finished with her first day of Chemo and she is doing well, even happy and silly nibbling on mommy. Lord, we thank you.

She was so happy to see dad and brothers. She misses them a lot. Second day of chemo - no complications. God hears our prayers.

Rosie's having her final chemo for her first cycle so we get to go home tomorrow night. She is starting to have some tired eyes, discomforts and weaknesses but still chatty and smiley. We're looking forward to be home again.

~Going home soon after a long day of learning.
~There's no place like home, home sweet home... Rosie is so happy to be home and be with family.

~ Back for outpatient chemo tomorrow. I haven't gotten a good sleep yet. At least Rosie is so happy with her brothers and dad.

~ Sincere thanks to all our friends and family for all your continuous generosity, gifts, endless prayers, wonderful food... for helping us fill our christmas tree, dining table, and especially our hearts. May God return the blessings to you and your family. Merry Christmas and a safe trip for travelers!
Rosie gave us a scare yesterday, a nosebleed for 30 mins. Had to run to SickKids to get her bloodwork checked on Christmas Eve. They said chemo made her nose tender and needs to be moistened often. Glad they were okay with her bloodwork and sent us home at 11pm. In time to spend the holidays with my siblings and family. Rosie enjoyed playing with her cousins and aunts/uncle so much and didn't sleep until 6am. And she's still so energetic today enjoying her presents. The boys are happy with their gifts too. Happy Holidays and happy shopping tomorrow!

My feisty little one pulled out her Central Venous Line off her chest last night at 11pm. We were able to stop the bleeding and we're back again at SickKids ER. Thankfully, she pulled the whole piece out and nothing left inside and no further bleeding. We found out that she's allergic to the antiseptic used for surgery, that's why she became so itchy and accidentally pulled her line.
They will schedule another surgical date to reinsert another one before her next outpatient Chemo this Friday. Lord, thank you for your love, please help us with our stress and continue to give us strength.

SickKids won't reinsert her central line this week and they plan to do it together with her surgery on Tuesday for her Femoral Line. One surgery to insert two venous lines :(. That means tomorrow's chemo will be done peripherally (injected intravenously). Her first 3 chemo cycles included 3 days straight of assorted chemo drugs (Vincristine, Cisplatin, Cyclophosphamide) as inpatient and 2 weekly maintenance of chemo drug (Vincristine) as outpatient. Tomorrow will be her last one for the first cycle. And she is to start Cycle # 2 next Friday after her surgeries and WBC harvest. Her mouth sores and skin rashes are improving and no further nosebleeds. God, we ask for Rosie's continuous protection.

Rosemary's chemo went well. Having transfusion due to low platelets and she has fever. No beds so we need to return tomorrow. And her hair starting to fall off. I want to cry but I can't do it in front of her.
Thanks for everyone's caring words and prayers. She finished her transfusion and her fever went down. We will be monitoring her temp. and cough at home. We may not need to return tomorrow. Praise God!

God is continually looking after Rosie, She is fever free today. Thanks for your continuous prayers!
