We have finished day 2 of our 5 days. Today was to be a quick day in the clinic, but ended up taking a bit longer than we had planned. After Maggie's scheduled chemo, they gave her an anti-pneumonia drug that she gets monthly. We then found out that Maggie's urine culture came back with preliminary results of having an infection. Dr. French believes that it might be a bladder infection, but won't know the exact diagnosis nor treatment until the final results come back tomorrow. But in the mean time, he gave her a dose of Rocephin, an antibiotic that covers many different types of bacterial infections.
Maggie is currently napping. Since she began the chemo, they are also giving her a dose of steroids as an anti-nausea drug. We have found that it is slowly affecting her sleep. She is very tired but has a hard time going or staying asleep. Hopefully this will remedy itself quickly.
Thank you for your continued prayers. Please pray that the chemo will do its job without the side effects and that Maggie will not have any pain or symptoms with this infection.

Praying for you!
*That this week goes quickly.
*That little Maggie can beat the side effects of the chemo and steriods.
*And that the disruptions in sleep will be short term.
I thought of you Whitney, when a good friend emailed this to me:
"I know a little suffering is good for the soul, but somebody must be trying to make a saint out of me."
Many prayers going your way.
