This past week has not been easy, just when you find a new
normal, life throws a curve ball.
Without the help of awesome family and friends, we’d be in a world of
hurt. Thank you so much to everyone that
has helped us this past week.
This past week, Kira’s throat has been causing her
discomfort by closing up so much that it has been hard to swallow and sometimes
even breathe. Wednesday was her
out-patient chemo and the docs decided to remove one of the chemo drugs to see
if it was the cause. We still need chemo
as Kira’s mass needs to shrink by another 10% (minimum) to be in the clear, so
not giving her a chemo drug is somewhat problematic.
She was struggling even more today and became
bedridden. Linda took her in to Seattle
Grace (I mean, Seattle Children’s) and along the way they had to meet up with
an ambulance. She got oxygen immediately
and proceeded to the hospital. They have
admitted her for the night as they are not really sure what is causing the
swelling in her throat.
Last night, Linda had to rush Kelsey to the hospital as she
got a concussion, and a heck of a shiner, from basketball practice. Her coach was playing with the team and they
both went up for a rebound. She looks
like a boxer now. We tried to make her
stay home from school today, but she was determined to go. She’s a tough one.
Lastly, our kitchen is torn up. We decided to get a double oven and ripped
out the old one just when the dishwasher decided to breakdown, and Kelsey went
to the hospital. We are extra thankful
that meals are getting delivered!
