False alarm

We went to see the doctor this morning to have Olivia checked. Yesterday I was worried she was looking pale. The doctor checked her and she's fine. Honestly, she wasn't as pale as she was yesterday, but I still wanted to have her checked for peace of mind. The doctor did not even request for a blood test. He will have to do it anyway on Friday, so why bother poke her with a needle now if there are no symptoms of low hemoglobin.

I guess it served as a practice for our regular visit to the Oncology center! She was really good today and cooperated to wear her mask. She is required to wear a mask whenever she goes out as a precaution.

We got home just in time for lunch. I'm so glad I was able to bribe her with eating something more nutritious than what she has been eating lately! I told her I will give her the mac and cheese she requested if she eats a bowl of rice with beef nilaga (beef soup). She ended up having 2 bowls of nilaga with her mac and cheese!

Last night was the first time she woke up in the middle of the night looking for food. She already gained 2 lbs in a week! The doctor said that she will gain a lot more than that!
