11:11

Everyone in the house is asleep but me. We were all dressed and ready to go to church this morning, but when it was time to leave Summer was on the couch asleep. I figured she needs rest because last night I don't think she went to bed until around 1:00 a.m. That was her latest night up ever, at least that I know about. We had so much going on in the house, she just couldn't give all that up and sleep in her bed. She wanted to sleep on her little couch in the living room. So, I agreed, read her two books and tucked her and Teddy in. I went to bed shortly after her only to be awakened by her a few minutes later. Apparently she had to pee and didn't get there for some reason. She actually peed in the floor which is VERY unusual for her. I guess she was so exhausted she didn't want to get up and I don't remember her going to the bathroom before she went to bed anyway. I did get her teeth brushed, but only after telling her she would have to do the mouthwash if we didn't brush them. I guess brushing teeth is better than swishing.

She has vomited about three times this morning. I tried to give her a Benadryl chewable tablet (grape, of course), but it came back up. That is when she drifted off to sleep where she remains now.

We finally got to see Lexie last night. She is actually here sleeping too. We played this morning while Summer and Clint were napping. Summer helped me feed her a bottle briefly, then I turned it over to Pops (????) so we could shower. Summer actually threw up while I was feeding Lexie, but being the big girl she is, she made it to the garbage can. :) After that, she was ready to get her shower over with. First one since Monday.

She was happy to have Ms. Patti to do her port yesterday. She actually wanted her to be the one to put it in when we go next time. :) Usually that happens in the clinic though...unless it is a fever. We will just have to hope she is working that day, should when it comes. I am hoping we make it through next weekend without a trip to the hospital.

It is so sweet to have a baby in the house. I forgot how much they can get into when they first become mobile. So far she has not gone for the fireplace. She did crack one of Summer's Easter eggs (yes, they are still in a basket in my living room) the other day. I heard it was really stinky! Good thing I don't have any enemies. :o I really enjoyed feeding her a jar of baby food this morning, remembering how I used to feed Summer. I can't wait for lunch! LOL She is supposed to go to a birthday party with us today. Summer will hopefully be up for it, but I'm not gonna hold my breath. If she does go, she will have to wear her mask. I don't know how much playing she will do anyway. She had a lot of energy yesterday, but she may have overdone it. Plus, she seems to be nauseous a lot this cycle. :( Can't wait for her counts to go up! Speaking of that, we need to give her a shot. A little behind on this one.....I'll blame it on the late night and everyone but me feeling a little under the weather. Well, may I don't feel so good either....I'm sure the baby will perk me up when she gets up though. What a joy grandchildren are! Just never thought I'd be such a young one.

Nap time

Summer just fell asleep on the couch beside me. She has been up pretty much all day, but is still not doing much. We read some books this morning before I went to workout. When I got back from the gym, a nurse came in and said she was here to take her to x-ray. I was completely confused and called the nurse to see if they were taking the right person. Sure enough, they were. The doctor ordered an x-ray since Summer has been coughing. The only time I have noticed a cough is when she gets upset about taking meds or something similar. Then she will cough and sometimes end up throwing up, but sometimes not. So, I guess that is why they did the x-ray. I still haven't heard anything about the results, but I am curious to see if they saw anything in her lungs.

She has been complaining of belly pain all day. It is still above her incision, in the middle of her belly. I assume this is where her stomach is. I told her to try some yogurt or chocolate milk and maybe that would help. Not sure if it really would, but she does need any calories I can get into her. Anyway, she took one sip of chocolate milk and told me it didn't work. That was the end of that. :) I tried to explain to her it wasn't going to help right away, but she didn't seem to care about my explanation. All she knew was her belly still hurt and she was done with the milk. :( Before we were even aware she had cancer, she occasionally complained of belly pain too. The doctors never really seemed concerned then when I told them before, so I am guessing it might just be something she will have to live with. That is, unless one of the doctors decides to explore the cause of the pain further. Even then, it might not be fixable.

She wanted me to bring her some grapes when I came back from taking a shower, but the store did not have any seedless grapes. I did get her a big cookie from Panera which she said she would eat later. She was so excited to see it. She said it was the best cookie ever and compared it to the size of her head. Go me!!! She did take two or three small bites of it, but then put it up for later. I just hope I don't end up eating it first. LOL

I was hoping she would feel up to going out to the rooftop garden today, but she just said she didn't "feel very well." I am not really looking forward to another lonely Friday night in the hospital, but it may end up being just that. If she doesn't get to feeling better, she will probably end up sleeping through it and I will play Spider Solitaire a hundred times and never win. Oh well, at least I do have Spider Solitaire. When I get tired of losing, I switch to another game, but I always find my way back to SS. It is the challenge that I enjoy. Maybe tonight will be my lucky night and I'll have an actual win or two. :)
