Today’s Chemo went very smoothly. All of her blood counts were almost back into the normal range this week. Yippie!!! Ashlynn wasn’t feeling great the beginning of the week. We are assuming her counts were at their lowest Tuesday, and have since started climbing again. The Visiting Nurse will visit us on Wednesday to take her blood again to see if she can have her third big treatment next week. While we were waiting for ashlynn’s Chemo to be mixed up she was showing off her dance moves for everyone. She was constantly looking around to make sure everyone was watching her. After she got bored of dancing we headed to the playroom. There she played with the farmhouse and all of the animals. She kept telling Dr. Chaffee that the Camel was a goat. Ashlynn was happy to help with her Chemo again today. All of the doctors and nurses and everyone else in the Hem/Onc department are great at making this whole experience as much fun for Ashlynn as possible!
While we were at the clinic Ashlynn got to have her pictures take. Jenn the AWESOME Life Specialist had arranged for the “Flashes of Hope” program to come and take pictures of patients today. Megan got Ashlynn an adorable outfit to wear for her pictures. “Flashes of Hope” is a program that was set up to take pictures of children with cancer at no cost to the families. All of the pictures we get back will be black and white (my favorite). We should get our photo’s pack in 6-8 weeks. I will be sure to post some on the blog. The photographer is nice enough to volunteer to take the photos for free and even give us the rights to the images.
After we got home Ashlynn and Garrett shared an ice cream sandwich!
