This weekend was the first night we spent away from home in a long time! We had an overnight vacation to relax and have fun with the family. Olivia had quick hospital visit in the morning for chemo. A few hours later, the nurse called and told us Olivia's blood counts were good and that she's free to go anywhere she wants! 9 months ago, I didn't think that we'll be able to spend family vacations this soon! God is good all the time.
Olivia had so much fun! There were times that she asks to go home but we just try entertain her. It's understandable that she just misses the comforts of her own home and also because she hasn't gone away from home in a long time other than the hospital. She had a lot of energy and we're just happy to see her happy.
These are Olivia's daily chemo meds that we have to bring with us on trips. We're 1 month into the maintenance phase and we have established a pretty good routine from timing the meds and the actual preparation of it. She is on dexamethasone again for the next 5 days and so we expect her to be always hungry and cranky. Patience and understanding is key.
