Carsyn reluctantly, but bravely, gave up some of her blood today, along with her mom and dad, to help her little sister. we skipped out to the play room and didn't watch their turn. The samples are shipped to NY for match testing. I don't know how long that takes.
Because of the fever yesterday, Kenna was not allowed out in the halls today near the other at-risk patients...another hardship for her because her favorite pastime has been walking. Her code for I've had enough of this, no more messing with me, is "I wanna walk"...just like me when I'm watching a horror movie. Poor thing, she's caught in a real live one!!
Fortunately today didn't have very much poking and prodding--thanks in large part to that cath. Still there are plenty of unpleasant meds to take and vitals to endure. She's getting a couple of antibiotics and some routine anti -fungal drugs. she hasn't had much appetite except for apple juice. I wonder if that is because it's one thing she has the power to say "no" to and gets her wishes respected!
She and mom got a refreshing shower--Kenna's first since arriving Thursday and boy, did she need it after all the indignities you can imagine in these last few days!! Then they both had a nice sleep all afternoon.
