Day 10, Chemo Round 2 :: Jamming with Jade





A LOT of dancing goes on in Room 415!  Please enjoy this clip of Jade jamming to Choo-Choo Soul.

Even though the music is loud (Jade insists on everything being turned all the way up), today proved to be a rather quiet day for Jade. One episode of vomiting, but otherwise okay.  We (including the docs and nurses) are definitely keeping an eye on her eating and drinking.  She's maintaining her weight thus far and has not had to be on IV fluids or nutritional supplements, but she just seems to be losing her appetite and desire to drink.  It's safe to say that she played with her dinner for a good hour before I whisked her away into the bathtub. We just eked out 28 oz for her daily fluid intake (goal is 36 oz) before she passed out for the night. Momma is going to follow suit... I am beat!

Labs will be drawn in the morning around 4am, so I'll update everyone with her counts then.  We're hoping the counts will also give us a sense (based on her response to Chemo Round 1) of when she ** might ** be recovered enough to go home.

Much love,

Taneika

  1. Our thought and prayers are with you all. I am a relative of Charlotte Elske. I have seen the power of prayer in Charlotte's life and I pray that you, too, will see this power in Jade. She's a beautiful child of God and we wish you all strength for the journey ahead of you.
    God bless.
