Pumpkin Patch

We are so glad to be done with our week of chemotherapy. Mad's counts on Friday were still pretty good so I took her to the pumpkin patch with some friends. It was a little crowded but we had a good time. The older kids had fun crawling on hay bales and walking through a corn maze. Everyone enjoyed picking out a pumpkin, even Madeleine - she wouldn't let go of it once we gave it to her.

Emus are the strangest looking creatures.

A home health nurse came out on Saturday and taught me how to give her the shot. The needle is much smaller than the one that I practiced with in clinic, and the whole thing went rather well. I feel much better about having to do the injections.

We have clinic again on Tuesday for labs. Hopefully the GSF shot will be doing it's job and raising her white blood cells so that the need for a transfusion, or platelets, will be less.
