Friday the 20th-25th

Friday Abel took Isabelle to the clinic around 3. When he got there they told him that she needed a blood transfusion and that it was too late to get it done at the clinic. They were going to send her to the hospital to get it done, but when they called over the oncology unit was full and didn't have room. They sent him home and told him that we need to watch for signs of her "crashing" and they made an appointment to come back on Monday. They said if she showed symptoms or her blood dropping seemed to get worse to go ahead and bring her to the emergency room. (That in itself is a risk since her immune system is completely compromised right now.) Luckily she made it to Monday without any problems, but it was a scary thought to know that she needed a transfusion and they just didn't have room to accomodate us safely.

Monday- Isabelle's appointment was nice and early to get the blood transfusion. When they accessed her port she put up a fuss. I guess as good as shes been, shes decided that shes had enough. The blood transfusion too a couple hours and she made a friend at the clinic. (the little girl doesn't have cancer, she has a platelet disorder and only has to come once every 2 weeks) She had a lot of fun playing with the princess toys on the train table. The nurse's asked if we could go ahead and get the chemo, so we would only have to go to the clinic 4 times this week instead of 5. The doctor said that would be fine, which was great news to me. She then got her chemo and we were able to leave.


Tues-Wed. - All she had done was her chemo push and there was no throwing up, Yay!! She also insisted on going in her dress-up Rapunzel outfit. She even wore the slippers, which I had to put sandals over so she wouldn't get them dirty. Once we were there, we had to go around the whole place to show EVERYONE her outfit. If people did not look at her, she would grab their attention so that they could tell her how beautiful she looked. It was so cute. She took her sandals off in the clinic so she could show them off. 
She has a crush on this Asian man at the front counter named Jay. She is constantly flirting with him and she told him that he was sooooo handsome! It was so cute and funny. Of course everyone laughed and she kept saying it.
