2 of 4!

Round 2 (of 4) of High Dose Methotrexate is complete!! This past week has been long to say the least. Clinic visit on Monday, Noni's 6 month birthday on Tuesday and admitted to Lucille Packard on Wednesday. Sofia was amazing at pre-hydration on Wednesday before starting our chemo finally at 9pm. She was guzzling all day and hit her pre hydration parameters on the first try. Once the chemo starts she doesn't feel great and loses her appetite. We finished chemo on Thursday night and woke up Friday pushing the water and lots of walks. Unfortunately this hospital stay was extremely frustrating with a complete lack of communication between the doctors. Long story short, our chemo ended an hour late and when I questioned the team they told me it was because Sofia took a "bathroom break" for 40 minutes between doses. Well maybe they think I'm stupid or not paying attention but it just wasn't true. Not even sure what she would be doing in the bathroom for 40 minutes!! I called them on it with my exact notes with exact timing. Sure enough there was not a 40 minute delay which the nurses clearly documented in Sofia's chart. This was one of 4 issues that we had in our short stay. Just too many cooks in the kitchen with the rotating doctors. I kindly told them all to not come back into our room until they take the time to read the chart for themselves.
The good news is that Sofia hit early clearance just 23 hours after finishing her chemo. She needed some extra potassium over the night but everything looked great this morning and we were home by mid day!
Out next scheduled admittance is not until next Wednesday so we have 10 days to relax and play!! Hoping Sofia feels good over the next week and again has little side effects.
Thank you all for your love, support and prayers!!
