Back to Rusk! Yay!

Yesterday was a good day overall. Isabella was transferred from the Pediatric unit to Rusk to continue her physical therapy.  Isabella also took the fifth and final dose of temodar pills for this cycle.  The dose is made up of two pills.  Although she had problems with the first pill, she took the second pill like a champ.  For this cycle, we created a "Pill Chart" for Isabella.  For each day she took her pills, she put a sticker on the chart.  You can see the chart to the right.

 

The therapists at Rusk were all amazed at Isabella's progress while in the Pediatric unit, especially with how she walks and uses her right hand.  We look to make even more progress over the next couple weeks.

 

Isabella continues to feel nauseous from the chemo, and although she eats a little bit, she still throws it up.  We’re hoping that the nausea wears off within a day.
