An unremarkable day

Well, not much happened today. Amanda was with us much of the day Sunday (including our trip to the Emergency Room), spent the night and was here much of the day today. She was a great help!

We checked in with the doctor's office this morning and found out that we will plan on having Rebekah's Central Line replaced when she goes into the hospital for the next round of Chemo. We had figured that it would either be early this week or in preparation for the next round since her counts will be dropping this week and bottoming out towards the end of this week or first part of next week and any infection can be life-threatening when counts are low. It looks like they will have to draw blood with needle pricks for the next two weeks. I'm not looking forward to that, but that's where we are at.

It is not uncommon for children to pull out their central lines. We're not even sure how she did it. She was talking about her booboo needing a change (which seemed strange). I thought I would change her diaper and see if she had a rash or some other sort of booboo that needed attention. That's when I found the Central Line completely out. I panicked a bit, yelled for Scott, checked her incision site (to make sure I wasn't seeing any bleeding which I wasn't), had Scott put a call into the on-call doctor and changed her diaper to get ready to leave. We rushed around getting a few things packed (in case we needed a little time at the hospital) and were ready to go by the time the doctor called back.

Today was pretty uneventful. Both girls played well, napped well and had ate well. Tomorrow we go in for blood counts.

Keep the prayers coming. I know prayer is working. There could have been serious issues with her central line, but there weren't and I'm sure that is because of the blanketing of prayer.
