The past couple of weeks have continued to go well for
Kaelyn. She did respond with some
sickness after each of the chemotherapy sessions, but for no longer than 2
days. Each was followed by nausea and
vomiting, tiredness, and weakness. She
seems to be back to herself by day 3.
Also, Kaelyn's hair has started noticeably thinning. I noticed more hair being vacuumed up and on
Kaelyn's pillow case, but it wasn't until I mentioned to others around me that
her hair might be thinning and they replied "Yeah, I noticed," that I
really accepted it. It is just thinning
so far, and depending how I do her hair, it isn't always noticeable. Usually if I pull her hair back her receding
hair line shows as well as her widening part, but if I leave it down it isn't
really noticeable at all. So I will
continue to play this waiting game to see if we will end up shaving her
head. I wish I could get my mind off it
though! It seems like I'm constantly
monitoring her scalp, trying to determine if the thinning has slowed, or worsened. Just today I've finally been able to calm
down a little bit and try to forget about it because no matter how much I think
about it, whatever is going to happen, is going to happen!
This pic was actually taken later than this post was written. This was when I decided it was time for a shave. See next post!
We just finished 2 weeks of swim lessons. Aside from the lack of lessons provided, and
the lack of heat in the water, I guess you could say it was fun! Every kid was crying to get out of the pool
before it was even halfway over every day!
The water was way too cold for those kids. And even worse? It was a parent and child class so I had to
get in too ;) I was sure missing that
triple digit weather at the time! But,
Kaelyn now knows how to "scoop and kick" even better than she did
before!
As for the Make-A-Wish update, we will for sure be going to
Disney World. I have heard so many great
things about what is offered there for wish children and I'm excited for Kaelyn
to experience it. There are still a lot
of details to iron out, but the nice thing is we don't really have to worry
about any of that!
