We’ve turned the corner!

Well, its been a long, frustrating and emotional past few days. Kylie’s side effects from chemo did a number on her. But the meds have kicked in and her appetite is coming back. I cannot be more happy! Blood work gets done Thursday (1 week after first chemo treatment) and hopefully her levels are good and she can continue onto the second treatment Oct 6.

The Oncologist says he will not make the next treatment as strong next time, given her side effects to it, and also we will start the anti nausea & antidiarrhea meds earlier, to hopefully avoid the same reaction in her. She is tripawd hopping around here like she was born on 3 legs and her personality is back, she wants to play, she barks at the people going by outside, etc,.

Hoping this is a bump in the road that we have now passed and it will only go up from here!! Thanks to you all for the support through this tough time! All your suggestions were a big help. The food of choice that finally got her going on the right track was a RITZ CRACKER! lol  I feel like writing the company a thank you haha!

Kylie’s blog – hoping this works!

Well I tried this once before but could not get it to work. I’m no blog expert! So we are trying again. Kylie has started to feel the side effects of the chemo yesterday and started vomiting and a bit of diarrhea too. So we started the meds they gave us for the vomiting. By bedtime she had not been sick for several hours so we gave her some water, it stayed down. We had a good sleep and she woke up looking much better today! Then I overdid it with the water and she threw that up. 🙁 We are hoping we can rebound from this and still have an encouraging day!
