Day 2 of Chemo

Gaby did pretty good yesterday. She wasn't feeling too good in the morning however she did really well with the chemo and slept for a while to reenergize for night time. She is still on TPN and the doctors are insisting that she needs to begin eating on her own. Yesterday she had a little bit of milk and a couple french fries, which was GREAT. We just need her to continue. Her chest tube is still on and is still draining liquid therefore they can not take it out. I think that when the chest tube is out and maybe 2 days go by after finishing chemo that she will pick up again on eating. Doctors have mentioned a feeding tube and I really hope it doesn't get to that.

Yesterday, I got to spend some time with Julian. At first, he was distant and didn't want me around until he gave in to my hugs & kisses. It really hurts me that he is hurting as well. He is too little to understand but he definetly knows there is something wrong. I can't wait to go home and be able to jump into bed all 4 us again.
I am amazed on how many of you are praying for my princess. Its great to know that there are GOOD people in this world. Our prayers will be answered and our princess will be running around again.
Today we are ready for day 3 of chemo. I will keep you posted

Prayer and Faith in God's wonders will get Gaby through this. I do not know your family, but I pray for you often. The power of positive thinking makes things better. I not only pray for Gaby, but for you as parents as well. You need the strength and prayers to get you through this most difficult time.

May the joys of this Christmas season shine the light of Hope upon Gaby and your family.

Mildred, your strength and faith are the cornerstone for getting Gaby through this. There isn't a day that passes by that I don't pray for Gaby's recovery. I have no doubt God will listen to our prayers. Keep strong, hopeful and everything else will come with it.
