After 3 weeks being off chemo, Olivia's counts were good for her to resume chemo again. The day started early for us at 7am, as it was very important for her to be hydrated before and after one of the chemo she took today. She was on IV fluids for about 2 hrs before chemo started and 3 hrs again after. She had a total of 3 chemo's at the hospital,1 through her spine and the other 2 (something new to her) through her port. She will also be taking oral chemo at home (new to her as well) for the next 2 weeks.
Olivia will be going back to the hospital everyday for the rest of the week for more chemo. Because of this, she was sent home with her port still accessed (needle sticking out of her chest) instead of getting poked everyday. We just have to be careful with her and make sure the area doesn't get wet.
Overall, Olivia did great today. The new meds she's taking may have flu-like symptoms as its side effects so we just need to watch out for any fever.
