Chemotherapy- Round 8

Round 8 is done!!! 4 more rounds to go! Man, it feels so surreal to say that... And a little scary too! This has become such a part of us- those amazing people at Primarys have become apart of us... It's almost scary to think about not seeing them every few days. It's like taking home a new baby... You're just not sure they should let you leave with her... Alone and without constant supervision! While at times it seems like we would never make it through this year it's crazy to think we're more than half way through!!! 

Today went really well---quick and semi-painless! Might have been the quickest appointment we have ever had with oncology! Not much has changed from last month so after a few quick checks from the oncology team Rylie was accessed, IV fluids started, chemo infused, 10 more minutes of IV fluids... Then it was time to get de-accessed and head home! 

Grandma Kim was able to sneak away from work for a few hours this morning and come up to see where we've been hanging out the last few months. Rylie was really excited to show Grandma "her" kitchen and color some pictures with her. 



 


It's pretty funny to see her little personality come out through this process- she defiantly knows what she wants and when she wants it. 😉 Our baby is growing up right before our eyes! 

Before heading home we stopped off to check out the Christmas Tree decorated for the families on the oncology ward. Rylie has really caught the Christmas spirit this year and LOVES seeing all the decorations! Her little face just lights up when she sees everything decorated! 



While this year has been incredibly difficult for our little family, walking these halls seeing all of the families that will be spending the holidays in the hospital instead of at home surrounded by loved ones reminds you of how precious each and every moment is. Getting to sit at home, snuggled up on the couch, drinking hot chocolate and watching Christmas movies is a luxury many people dream about. Cherish every second you get to spend with your families this holiday season and pray for those fighting to get home to theirs!
