She's home

Elsa is home now. They got back late last night. My mom said it is almost as weird to be home now as it was to be at the hospital because now its like they are in the normal world but things still aren't normal. Before they left the hospital Elsa had to get her first blood transfusion because she was low on hemoglobin. Now that she is back at home she will continue to take meds that go along with her Chemo. 

The home-care nurse came to the house today to show my mom how to care for Elsa's central line and administer the medications. Elsa will have to get IV medicine every day as well as oral medication. That is really weird because you don't normally think of getting IVs at home. but that is why it is nice for her to have the central line because she will not have to poke Elsa to give the IV.

Elsa was really weak and tired today. She didn't feel very good either. Her skin is a purplish color and the doctors said that she will bruise easily now. 

It is good that she is home now, but it will still be a few more days before she starts to recover from the last dose of Chemo. That will be the hardest thing about this whole process is that right when Elsa starts to recover from the Chemo they will give her more. It sucks but I guess we just have to do whatever it takes to get her back.

I'll let you know when there is any news.
