Serenity is feeling better today. She ate a (relatively) huge meal last night, and slept really well. Yesterday she had her surgery and started her chemo. Today she is still understandably fussy and clingy, but she’s being a trooper about taking her meds and I am feeling a little more rested than I have up until now.
Phil left to go to a meeting this morning. Usually he’s the one who gives her her medicine, so when they brought the first one in she emphatically insisted, “No! Daddy do it!” Since Daddy wasn’t here we had a bit of an argument and I ended up holding her down to give it to her, which just breaks my heart. By the second or third dose she was getting resigned to the idea that she has to take it from Mommy too.
She is sleeping now and in a few hours the rest of the family is coming up to visit. I am looking forward to seeing my other children, and I know they are eager to see Serenity.
THANK YOU for all of the donations and well wishes. We appreciate them more than you can know.
