Day 81-85 - Hospital Days

Anna started her 2 round of Chemo and she's kicking ass! Not one compliant this entire hospital stay. She was happy and full of energy. The week was much better than any time we had ever spent in the hospital before.  We were so luck there were not any complications this time around.

Aside from getting chemo here's all the other things that happened this week.

Wished upon a star!

Day 3 - The port

So if you've ever had an IV put in your arm you probably didn't like it. I actually can even look at it even after its in. Yuk! Well for chemo they take it to another level. The surgically implant an access port in your chest which is connected directly to your heart. The day before Anna's birthday she went in for this surgery like champ! Her favorite part was that there would not be any more poking around looking for a vein any more ! 

Here is the pre op game face! Heather (mom) went in with her until the anesthesia kicked in. Apparently just before Anna passed out she said with a tired voice and her eyes closed "I don't think this stuff is working!" The Dr's and nurses laughed !
