With Katie's numbers up, the chemotherapy resumed again starting Thursday. She had a dose of Vincristine (causes nausea) at the hospital, a dose of Zofran to combat the nausea, and a dose of her antibiotic, pentamidine. That night at home she got Methotrexate, Dexamethazone, and Mercaptopurine. All combined, a lot of chemicals went back into her body and that was just on Thursday. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday she continued to get Dexamethazone, Mercaptopurine, and Zofran. She has had a break from some of these drugs for quite some time now and she isn't used to handling them again. She spent most of her weekend just lying around on the couch or in bed. She didn't nap much, she just didn't feel good enough to get up and play. The few times that we tried to get her out, she told us she didn't feel good and just wanted to go back home. Tonight, after climbing into bed, she finally vomited for the first time since the drugs started going back in. Shortly afterward, she felt better.
Tomorrow, she goes back to daycare. Hopefully she will feel well enough to enjoy it because, even sick, she is still looking forward to seeing her friends.
