All Done With Round 3

Well, we are finally at home again. It is so nice to be here. I did four nights in a row down there and it really wore me out. Kelby on the other hand was quite content and happy to be there. We had to stay a night longer than I thought we would have to. The reason is because after the last dose of the cisplatin, they like to wash out the kidneys with lots of fluids. I was kind of a grump about staying down there longer. I know that it is for Kelby's best though. The doctors aren't trying to be hard on us...they just want to do what is safest for Kelby. Now we just need to get her to drink a lot of fluids and eat some food. We just pray that she doesn't get a fever this time so we can avoid a long stay down at the hospital next week. She will probably have to go down for some transfusions either way, but that is only a few hours. Kelby is doing great. She really is happy no matter where she is. The hospital probably feels just as much like home now that she is used to it. She really likes flirting with the nurses and patients down there! I guess that I need to take a lesson from Kelby about having a positive attitude no matter what. Her nickname should be "Happy"! Love to you all! Shawna
