After having a pretty good day yesterday, Victoria had a rough one today.
She didn't get a great nights sleep and had to wake up early to have her central line put in. The operation was supposed to be about and hour. They had some trouble getting her to stop bleeding so the whole thing took over 2.5 hours. We came back upstairs, she slept, and then off we went to get her abdominal ultrasound done.
She had a new chemotherapy treatment this afternoon. So far, her reaction has been good -again she's mostly been sleeping.
Her arms are now both freed up. Yay, no more IVs! She's a bit traumatized from all the difficulty they had getting blood last night therefore is still not happy when she sees the nurses coming her way. She is still reluctant to move her arms and hands. Hopefully tomorrow she'll wake up and just start using them again.
Yesterday, we had a great visit from Kevin, Diana and Jakey :)
Jake was mostly interested in eating any snacks we had around. He seems to have doubled in size since we last saw him. We don't know what they are feeding him in Huntingdon? ;)
Since it was quiet on the weekend, the doctors suggested we get her up and about while there were less people around to come in contact with. She was reluctant, but being the physio that I am, I was determined to get her up and walking. We made it our mission to go find Jake (he was off exploring with daddy).
On our floor, they have this great interactive thing where a picture is projected onto the floor and a camera tracks your movement. The image changes as you move over it. You can pop balloons and popcorn, blow the leaves away, make ripples in the water and even play a game of hockey or soccer, kicking the ball or puck around. Jake would dive onto his belly anytime he thought he was in the water. Jake was definitely the motivation Tori needed to get moving.
You have a couple of sweetie pies on your hands Jess and Jeff. It's so nice to see pics. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI hope tonight goes a little better for Victoria.
Huge hugs and kisses from afar. xxooo
Glad to see she enjoyed her visit with Jakey and that she was walking around! Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for you all! xo

Andrea, I know that because of the distance and her immune system, visiting will be hard. Hopefully this makes it easier on everyone. Victoria really likes to skype so we can always set something up with Noa and Tristan. She doesn't say much but likes to listen to everyone
