Sarah's Cancer: Day 5

Today was a good day for Sarah.  She slept really well through the night.  She ate more today.  She has also been happier.  We were able to go over the play area here in the ICS unit.  She had some visitors that she was glad to play with.  She is still taking the second antibiotic but they haven't seen any infection in the blood cultures.  That is always good.

She was given the PEG-ASP today.  They watched close as the drug as a fairly high allergy rate.  She did well and doesn't appear to have any allergic reactions.

The plan is still to go home sometime tomorrow.  The nurse thinks early afternoon, but we will see.  We have had a good set of hospital staff taking care of her.  They all say how cute she is and she has made friends with most of them.  We are grateful for their watchful care.

We are grateful for all those who are praying for Sarah and for all the support.

  1. Hi Chita and Nate. I have been keeping up on the blog post and I thank you for them first off. Secondly, I want to let you know how much I care for both of you. Our family has had your family on our minds and in our prayers a lot this week. I am glad to hear that Sasa had a good day today. I hope her treatment is easy on her poor little body and that her recovery is as easy as it can be. Please, if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. I hope Sarah is able to come home tomorrow too. Love you. give my love to the others also.
