A Pretty Good Day

Kelby has finally gotten past the sickness from the last round of chemotherapy it seems. She hasn't thrown up now for a couple of days. She hasn't been taking much in though either. The only thing she would really take halfway decent is her trusty old milk. We finally started giving her things with a syringe and then she'll suck them down. Shawna has gotten pretty good at giving her yogurt and juice. She won't take it on a spoon, but if you squirt it into her mouth she sometimes realizes it tastes pretty good afterall. She's pretty picky though. One day she'll like something, the next day she won't. She's done pretty good today though, she ate a bunch of ham (of all things) for breakfast this morning, but she wouldn't touch banana, oatmeal, or oranges, all of which she normally likes. She's even given up cheese lately which have always been her favorite. She's got a lot of energy today for the first time in a while. The sun is out so she even got outside a played a while. It may be short lived though because her blood counts are doing pretty good now, but we expect they'll drop rapidly over the next few days. She seems to have quite a bit less energy when her blood counts bottom out. It's about that time. She seems to be in pretty good shape though, so maybe we'll get lucky and avoid the hospital until her next scheduled round this time.
