Aly does a drinking and eating fast the week of chemo. We just plan on it now and us the iv fluids when their there. Often she vomit's worse when trying to drink then ends up throwing up the iv fluids to some extent. Offering often and giving a variety is probably the most helpful and of course in her favorite cup. I wouldn't push it too hard going home with a bag of fluids to carry around is better than drinking lots and cleaning up after it. I've actually grown to like the take home bags of fluids and getting to change line stuff myself. That way I know I can be very thorough and clean when it comes to my own daughters care. <br />We will be starting high dose next week so might see you around in clinic. Hope all goes well. Remember to enjoy the extra time you get just with Ester its rare that you'll get one on one time together. :)Mrs. Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403768023240523512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038199504530875539.post-39313417123847916032012-07-26T10:36:18.480-07:002012-07-26T10:36:18.480-07:00Sam, I read 1 Peter 1 this morning and was encoura...Sam, I read 1 Peter 1 this morning and was encouraged: 3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, 5who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, 9obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.<br /><br />Micah and I and Joe are praying for you daily! I love you friend. I imagine how hard this must be...to deal with day in and day out...and I pray He gives you grace and perseverance and peace and hope. I hate that you are going through this, but I praise God for the example you are to me. Thank God for your faith and for Ester's resilience. Praying for the treatments to work and for no fevers...and strength and joy in the middle of all of this.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02711147672848893798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038199504530875539.post-68988581880074449542012-07-26T05:57:06.796-07:002012-07-26T05:57:06.796-07:00Sam & Anthony -- We are on vacation in a lake ...Sam & Anthony -- We are on vacation in a lake region of Maine (our last time together before Garrett leaves for Chicago in 3 1/2 wks) and I haven't read your blog in a few days. I found myself becoming anxious about it, so I read all of your posts today. So relieved to hear all is proceeding OK. I think of you throughout each day, willing you hope, strength and courage to get through this long journey. Continue to enjoy the good moments as they will help sustain you.<br /><br />My love to all,<br />Aunt CandyAunt Candynoreply@blogger.com
