3rd Intensive Chemo - Cycle 6

April 16, 2012

It was fun to be home for almost 2 weeks but now we are back at SickKids for Rosie's final chemo cycle. She was sad at the beginning. She felt more relaxed and back to routine once she had some cotton candy and playroom time. Thanks for your continuous prayers! Blessings!

Had her final chemotherapy drugs today. She will be monitored for side effects the next 2 weeks until she starts creating her own white blood cells. Isolation on Friday when she receives her own Stem Cell transplant. She still has lots of energy and good appetite. We thank you God!

We had a regular large room before isolation. It was nice to have extra space and our own bathroom for a little while.

Rosie had to receive platelet transfusion this morning. Continues to be comfortable, playing and eating fairly well.

Rosie has some vomiting and sore throat today due to mucositis (chemo related). Eating a little less. Had some gravol today. But doing better compared to her previous chemo cycles.

Rosie still required morphine throughout the day, it helps her gain her appetite and be comfortable. Had fun time making special greeting cards.

Rosie received platelets this morning. She was able to eat breakfast without morphine. She had no Bowel Movement for 3 days, thank goodness to the PEG Flakes, she finally had a good cleanse tonight.  She perked up tonight after a visit from dad.

Rosie was feeling better yesterday, only had one dose of morphine. Today her White Blood Cells is 0.7 which means she is starting to engraft and her immune system is rebuilding. Praise God! We should be done this week!! Hooray!

Had a busy morning with Kidney Scan, Echogram, & ECG tests for Rosie. Tomorrow she has her hearing test and hopefully MRI too then we'll be sent home. Our last treatment day! Lord, thank you for carrying us through our most difficult trials. Thanks everyone for joining us in our toughest journey.

Good Bye Isolation Room, Goodbye Chemo & Goodbye Cancer!
