Sorry for not updating more this week . . .
Wednesday we were at the clinic for treatment. Eden enjoyed seeing all her friends at the clinic and she spent her free time making new friends. We are so thankful that Eden's days at the clinic are something she enjoys. Eden's Dr's did feel that she was having an "off day." We all agreed it has taken a little more energy on our part to keep her happy. She had been "okay" until Friday night . . . she was inconsolable much of the night and the nausea/vomiting began in the early hours this morning. We gave up on sleep and unpacked the Cinderella DVD (it had been packed away since her initial hospitalization), and this turned out to be such a treat for her today! Shortly after breakfast, she started asking us to clean her right ear out . . . an ear infection was confirmed after a visit to our Dr's office here in Washington. I was somewhat relieved, as her temperament and the vomiting was likely related to the ear pain and not her current course of chemo.
Today, we took a stroller ride several blocks from home, typically, this is a cherished event for Eden (and us), but today, the event wasn't quite as enjoyable - for any of us. The overall condition she was dealing with (chemo + ear infection) wasn't allowing her to be happy with anything. She wanted to walk, then be held, then get into the stroller, and non of these really seemed to please her. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
She just completed her last poke at home . . . quite possibly for her entire treatment period. She has done so well with the pokes, and all the other treatments she has to go through.
As I type, Eden is peacefully sleeping in her own "big girl bed", and we sure hope that continues throughout the night!!! Thanks so much for all your thoughts and prayers for our little E!
Have a great Easter!
Selena and family.

So look forward to the blogs on how Eden is doing. You do such a good job on keeping everyone informed to how she is doing. Sorry to hear about the rough day, but hoping Easter was a good day for your family. It was such a beautiful day, the resurrection of our Lord and the warming of the sunshine. Hopefully spring is here to stay. You are in our thoughts and prayers daily, and we walk with you daily on the path to healing of Eden. God Bless all of you, Love and hugs, Aunt Mary and Uncle Heinz

Hi Selena, Kurt, & Eden,
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good Easter and the ear infection is all better. That can hurt so bad!
Hopefully we will have some warmer weather this week and you can get out for another walk, and Eden will be back to her happy disposition. Take care and thanks for keeping us informed.
Love, Uncle Ardyce & Aunt Nancy
