Reaction to Chemo

Ava started receiving her chemotherapy infusion about half an hour ago and immediately started reacting to it. They stopped the drug and she was already wheezing, so they are re-assessing how to proceed at this point. This is a key component of the chemotherapy regimen, so it's not optimal for her to miss this one...

Update: They decided to not give Ava this drug today. There is an alternative one they can try instead, but they will wait until next month to try again with that one. Thankfully, Ava's reaction subsided when they stopped the infusion.

Praise: Gwen's fever broke on her own this morning, so no need to squeeze in an additional doctor's visit. She still has some complaints of abdomen pain, but is doing better. 

Thanks for your continual prayers!

You are not the only one who feel like you failed more than succeeded in the motherhood. There are so many times I wished I could do over. We look to the future and do better from our experience. You inspire me to be a better mom. Praying, praying for your little angels.
