Chemo has finished
Lyla is all done with chemo now. She's starting to feel the effects so she's on a morphine drip to help reduce pain. It seems to be working well and keeping her pretty happy. Her eating is slowing down which is too be expected because the chemo creates sores in the mouth, throat and stomach. She's also getting more nauseous and has just started IV nutrition to ensure she keeps hydrated. The main effects of chemo are actually delayed and will mostly start next week. Overall, the doctors are very happy with how she's doing though!
Lyla is also loving all the attention and she gets so excited every time the door opens which is very often! She squeals in delight when people come and go, waves and is starting to do copy cat. She somehow learned the no head shake....But, luckily dad just taught her yes instead! Grammie Bisnett is also here so Lyla is loving reading, playing and extra cuddles!
It's rest time now until her transplant on Monday....
