50/50

I don't have any new pictures but I thought I would post a quick update on Laney so that everyone could know how things were going. It's been a 50/50 kind of week. She's been happy and feeling well about 50% of the time and not doing as well the other 50%. We've tried a new medication for nausea that hasn't been too promising. She's gotten sick multiple times since we started it. I think there are other options that we'll be looking at, though. She's having trouble sleeping at night so that could be part of the reason she's been more fussy. We'll all be excited to get back to sleeping through the night. The good news is that she's continued to eat...even waking up to eat twice during the night. She goes for her 2nd chemo treatment of this first round tomorrow. We're hoping that it will be uneventful, that her blood counts will be high enough and that she will have gained weight. We're doing pretty well staying positive and remembering that this is all short term. Adjusting to seeing Laney struggle at times, being back to work full time and being up several times a night has been a bit challenging at times, though. :) More updates to come...
