endings

We missed having spinal taps so much so we just had to come back to the hospital one last time just to get one in!!!!

In like a lion out like a lamb? Is that March or a cancer protocol? It should have been lamb-like as the chemotherapy protocol lessened dramatically but we got a lion, a rather ferocious lion. Lydia ended up with a high fever including hallucinations. Boy was that fun!! Really a mother's dream come true. She should be well versed in highs and lows long before her time experimenting with street drugs. She has run the gamut with the backing of the good ole' AMA. The cocktail soup they recommend could make anyone delusional.

With a fever of 103, head and neck pain of course they all jumped to meningitis. So, tests, cultures and antibiotics were ordered. They actually wanted to tap her without anesthesia in the middle of the night. I had to fight them all back. It got a little dicey here. But, I wouldn't back down. All the tests came back negative. I knew they would.

Dare I say we are done with chemo for now and out the hospital door? I never want to see another light blue wall.

So can we just get on to the happy healthy part of life we remember that it can offer?
