We are still going good here. We attended cousin Carl's wedding and reception on Saturday. It was lovely to see family we haven't seen for quite a while. The reception was at the Science Museum, which was cool. Aly wants to go back and revisit the museum. My brother Jeff, from Texas, was able to coordinate a business trip around the wedding, so he was here and spent the weekend with us as well.
Aly continues to have some stomach issues, just doesn't want to eat and when she does, she tends to get an upset stomach. We continue to give her formula through her stomach tube. She lost a few pounds since she was in for her last treatment, so she is having to spend more time hooked up to the formula pump as the goal is to get 2000 calories into her everyday! They want her gaining weight so she is better able to cope with the chemo. She really never feels hungry and there is an extremely limited number of things that she says tastes good when she eats.
Other than that, she still feels well enough to attend school. She doesn't have to go in for her next treatment until June 3rd, so hopefully she will be able to attend for the rest of the year, and enjoy her last day in elementary school! In St. Michael, 5th graders are at the middle school.
We have an appointment with the eye specialist on Tuesday, as her sight has changed (for the better) and she may need a new prescription. We have a clinic appointment on Wednesday to see how her blood counts are going. Busy as usual!
Hi to all of Aly's family. We are so pleased that progress has been made and we are hopeful the next round of chemo will go well for Aly. My name is Velma Wesloh and I would like to talk to Grandma Jan if she is still at your house. Or if you could let me know where she is, I'll call her there. My number is 218-444-9334 and if she'd call me, I would appreciate it so much. Or you can send me an e-mail to wesloh@gvtel.com
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. Our prayers are still going to all your family. You've been through so much.
