Keira's 4th Treatment went as well as could be expected. We showed up at 8am, the Vascular Team came down promptly at 8:30am to assess the IV situation and put on the numbing patches. We were able to go down to the cafeteria and grab breakfast before they put in the IV, and they were able to get it in on the FIRST try. K was awesome... she watched the whole thing and didn't shed a single tear. We were all quite impressed.
It is still quite a long day but we did our best to make it fun.
We hung out at the train quite a bit,
ate fun snacks, watched movies
and even got Keira to take a short nap.
Surfing the IV Cart was probably the highlight of the day. Hard to believe that we didn't think of this activity before.
Glory also stopped by after work to hang out and Keira was very happy to see a new face. They practiced their ABC's and Glory introduced her to the Chicken Dance, a new favorite for our little one.
Keira was given two special beads for her necklace this month. She picked out a black and white bead (which she referred to as a soccer ball) because our nurse heard that last month we had such a long day. Keira also picked out a special bead to symbolize reaching 75 beads of courage on her necklace - we had to start our second necklace this month!
