Day 12: Monday Oct 28th

Monday we had our first clinic visit.  We had an appointment at 9:30 for a blood draw.  Kinslee was not happy from the moment we told her she was going to the doctor.  She started to cry the minute we walked  in the door.  She is so afraid of anything and everything now.  It breaks my heart!  Her numbers looked good so we didn't have to have a blood transfusion!!!  Yay!!!  It was a big relief for us.  The doctors have been so positive about everything so far!!!

That afternoon the Fort Worth fire department brought over their pink fire truck to the Ronald McDonald House.  They let us take pics and tour the inside.  Cason loved it!  He sat in the drivers seat and decided he might want to be a firefighter.  Kinslee is not too sure about anything right now and didn't want anything to do with it but we took a pic anyway :) 

It was a great day for everyone until that night Cason woke up because he was having a bad dream.  He was so upset and couldn't calm down.  I knew something wasn't right.  He crawled in bed beside me and he was burning up.  I immediately took his temperature and it was 100!!!  Clay got dressed and gathered their things and left as quickly as they could get out of there.  Scared us because Kinslee cannot get sick.  If she has a fever of 101 we are back in the hospital no matter what!  Clay took Cason to Comanche.  They got there around 3ish.  My mom gave him some motrin and he had broke
 the fever by morning.  Dad said he woke up feeling good but I did not want to take any chances so I made him an appointment with our pediatrician.  The doctor said it was probably the start of a cold and put him on an antibiotic but could be something viral and would have to go away on its own in a few days.  We were finally enjoying him being here with us!  Please pray he stays healthy and well so he can come stay with us and we can all be together again.  Kinslee misses him when he's not around.  :(

I had to share these pics :) this is Mac.  He stays at the Ronald McDonald House during the day.  He is the highlight of Kinslee's day!  She loves him!  He is the sweetest dog and loves all the kiddos here!  Wish we could take him home with us!!!

 

Kinslee has had a great week so far!  She seems to be feeling better!  Tomorrow is chemo day.  Thursdays are her treatment days.  It will be very stressful for her and for us so please say a little prayer for us that everything will go smooth.  They will be accessing her port for the first time since surgery.  She's tough but this will not be an easy process for her each time.  We are praying it will get easier.  Thank you for the prayers and love.  It means the world to us to have so many asking God to watch over our baby girl.
