Baby Lia is at Arnold Palmer Hospital undergoing her long day of chemotherapy treatment. This is the third one. We don't know what to expect now as far as side effects go. She's already experiencing some, but the staff at the hospital warned us that around the third treatment we could see more side effect. Lia is already beginning to loose her pretty dark hair....it was just starting to come in thicker too. She is also experiencing long periods when she is only comfortable in the upright position, so everyone - especially Ed - walks the floors with her to keep her comfortable. I am cleaning the house again, to prepare for her coming home later this evening. We do our very best to keep the carpets and floors very clean, as well and all walls and furniture. Anything that might harbor any germs gets a thorough washing about three times a week! We are going to have to have the carpets steamed and sanitized again too. We are using a hospital sanitizer that costs $46.00 a gallon, but it is worth it to protect Lia. It takes 2 gallons to add to the carpet cleaner, and another gallon lasts us about a month to make a concentrated formula to use in spray bottles. We probably go overboard, but we are trying to make sure Lia doesn't get sick.
I have made another commemorative graphic.... this one is Lia and her Mommy, Cassie, right after coming home from the first chemo treatment. Hope you like it.
