Chemo # 2 complete!

Ok, this day of chemo was a piece of cake! There's nothing like two weeks in ICU to put things into perspective! Emily sat in a big comfy recliner with a blanket (it's like the arctic in there), and used her infamous port for the first time. People told us she would love the port, and sure enough, no more stabs from needles in her tiny little veins from now on! We watched The Proposal (very funny movie), and her sweet dad brought us lunch from Camilles, and we passed the time very pleasantly. No nausea, or weird feelings or tastes, (yet anyway). We got to the Dr.'s at 8:30 am and left by 2 pm. They had to do blood work, visit with Dr., and then do another trial test of the chemo drugs. Because her first time for chemo was in ICU, they wanted to make sure no adverse affects, and there were none! Next time, in 2 weeks, it should take about 1 hour less. She has also been cleared as healthy (other than the lymphoma of course), and can resume normal schedule and activities, and that includes back to school! She is very excited, and is looking forward to going to college town tomorrow for some homecoming activities, and then back for good on Sun. There are not words to express our thanks for all of your thoughts, support and prayers during this time. We now have 2 treatments under our belt, and will continue to take one day at a time. God has been gracious and comforting in the last month. We know he will be there for us each and every day in the future! God bless and I'll keep you posted.
