She went in today for her procedure and she did very well. It was a little upsetting because when she was sedated her eyes were still open and blinking. They ushered us out of the room and brought us back in after about 20 minutes. They pulled fluid from the spine, took some marrow, and injected the chemo. They warned us that when she started to "come to" that she may twitch and kick around, but its a dream type state. I nearly had a heart attack when the monitor said no breath recorded, but it said that because they took the breathing thing out of her nose. Her heart rate was very low before and after the procedure so they had to give her meds to pick it back up. She had to have an EKG and see a cardiologist to check her heart before we could go home. It all checked out ok.
It is so weird to be home right now. Shes getting about 7 medicines a day which is a bit overwhelming. I felt a lot of anxiety on the way home, but now that I'm home I'm feeling better. The best way to deal with this is head on because there is never going to be a right time to face this. The Christine's paid for my dogs to get groomed which we are very grateful for. They look amazing. (We wanted them cleaned up so they don't bring too much stuff from there feet and we were'nt going to have time to do it ourselves.) Isabelle's appointment on Tuesday is at 9 am and they said expect to stay there all day.
Isabelle fell asleep in the car on the way home, but when she woke up she was crying. She stopped crying when she saw our cat and said SPOOKY!! She got off the couch and ran to the cat and pet her for a while. She was so excited to see the dogs too. She was like I want to sleep with Max and Coconut. So cute!
