Vidaza day three, heart tests done

Today will be the 3rd day of Vidaza. Yesterday the ran heart tests, an EKG and ECG. Lung tests will be done next Tuesday. After today only 4 to go and then wait for the transplant process which will begin on the 8th of June.  Before each Vidaza treatment she gets an IV dose of Zofran. This drug helps keep down the nausea, thank goodness for Zofran. We often wish they had such a remedy for fatigue, but no such luck. She does sleep well at night and a couple times during the day but even with that rest she is still tired. To her credit she still finds things to do around the house.  I can always tell when she begins to feel better because the list of things become more and more urgent. We have cleaned out some closets and pantries that havn't been done since cancer came to our home.

We got to see Caleb last night for the first time in a week and a half because he and his family have been sick and couldn't come over.  He is growing so fast, after a hug or two we sat him on the floor and he immediately crawled over to the couch, grabbed on to the edge and stood up. He was so proud of himself and so darn cute about it--what fun!  Aaron fed him some stew Diane had put together and he couldn't get enough, he ate and ate like he had been starving.  We love this kid, he brings such joy.

Diane sent me down to Haline's with stew too. She is battling strep and feels terrible. I took stew and watermelon, left it on the front porch and backed way up as Avery got it into the house. We miss hugging those kids too. There must be lots of bugs around and we must be really careful not to let any of them catch Diane!
