Second lot of chemo to start on Monday ...

What a beautiful day here in christchurh, Emily has just been in to have her 'meds' - Ambisone (she has every second day, takes about two hours) She is fast asleep now,  lovely.
Emily was weighed and measured again, she has lost a wee bit more weight despite starting to eat solids again on monday, but she has finally started to grow longer, 67cms now! , sweet wee shortie :)
Not looking forward to starting the chemo again, just when we are starting to get her to eat and then she will get sick again, but they assure me they will make sure she dosent lose too much weight.
We have been staying at Ronald Mcdonald House for last few days bfore her next lot of treatment starts, as Emily has been well enough, so that is great.
Wish Hubby could be here while Emi is having Chemo tho, I will just have to get the nurses to give me a hand with Emi when I need to I guess.
Took Emily to the park yesterday and she had her first go on a swing all by herself! she loves it, will have to take her there as much as I can.
It is a shame Emily will miss out on interaction with other children for 6 months, I dont suppose it will matter too much though, as she certainly gets heaps of interaction with the nurses!
