Nonna was on vacation this past week and came early Friday to spend the weekend with Haylee. There wasn't anything going on for them to do so they pretty much had to entertain themselves and each other which was a feat, I'm sure!
They tried to re-access Haylee on Sunday afternoon with no luck. Leah tried the best she could as well as the day nurse, Amanda, and neither had any luck. Leah's opinion was that the port needed to come out because there was no use having it in if it couldn't be accessed. Haylee has a clinic appointment along with a BMA and LP with chemo injection so I plan to talk to the doctors about them taking it out permanently. Nonna and Leah said that despite how difficult it was for Haylee, she did AMAZING! Nonna had to stand in my place and I've been there, done that so I know how difficult it is to watch and have to deal with my child in pain and crying for them to stop. As hard as it is for me to deal with it, it had to be harder for my mom since she's the Nonna. I get my strength from my parents - I know that my mom was just as strong as I have to be during that tough time even though it's brutal to deal with (Thanks Mom, you were there for her and stayed strong. I know it hurt to watch and go through that today but you were wonderful!).
Counts didn't get any better over the weekend until Sunday's counts. They look promising but neither Haylee nor I are getting our hopes up until we're told she's being discharged.
