8AM Saturday… The treatment last night went much better. We adjusted the timing of the Tylenol and Advil to make sure she was properly dosed prior to the start of the symptoms, and the chills were very minor and brief. Hooray! We actually stayed up late to catch up on America’s Got Talent, and she was able to eat a small dinner and keep it down.
Today we have to hang out at the hospital until late afternoon so they can make sure she’s ok for a full 24 hours after the last treatment. Then, we’re checking her into Hope Lodge for the rest of the weekend. We have the rest of the weekend to ourselves up in Cleveland. I’m sure there’s plenty to see. The lodge is nearby the natural history museum and other attractions if she feels up to going out. Otherwise, it’s a couple days at the lodge.
An observation the trial nurses made was that the chills and fever were an indication that the medication was doing what it should. We certainly hope!
We should be back into Columbus mid afternoon Monday.
