New Website for Kelly
We have started a new website for Kelly. This blog has been great, but I can't update it from the hospital, and that is when I want to update the most. Kelly was admitted to the hospital Tuesday with a fever. She had chemo last night, but the fever spiked again this afternoon, so she isn't coming home yet. She also tested postitive for influenza A. She is just miserable today. I just came home to see Megan's Musical, and get some more clean clothes and pjs for Kelly. I am headed back to CHOC now.

The Hospital comes Home
Kelly spent a long day in the Infusion Center for chemo yesterday. We tried to keep her a little longer to run her IV hydration for an extra hour or so since she was getting so sick. But it just continued when we got home and through the night. Thanks to our little nurse Shannon for taking care of Kelly last night and changing her buckets! She is so sweet and helpful to Kelly when she is not feeling well. Kelly's case manager from CHOC called this morning to check on her, since they were worried about her when we left last night. Since she still couldn't keep anything down, her doctor ordered home IV hydration. We thought this would be nicer for her so she could stay home and not have to go back to the hospital. But she was really upset when I told her what was going to happen. She really looks at home as her refuge from medical procedures and treatments and the thought of the hospital coming to her was really hard for her. I finally got her to agree to it, but it is going to take a trip to Borders where she can pick out any book she wants. Whatever it takes! It is actually kind of nice to think that I can bribe her with books. Not what most 16 year old girls would want so much.
