Last one:)

Today was the last day of chemo treatment:) We went to the hospital and got ready, they started off with the normal premeds including Benadryl but just 6 instead of the regular 50. And they were keeping an extremely close eye on her both the IV therapy and pharmacy were present. They were also able to give her an additional 6 with only a very small reaction of itchy hands. Were able to begin the Taxol treatment. She started to have a small reaction to the Taxol and we debated giving her a little bit more Benadryl but decided to try to slow the Taxol treatment down and see if that would help. Fortunately she was able to begin to feel a little bit better without any more additional Benadryl through the treatment. She is looking forward to having her last Neulasta shot tomorrow, as it has caused her more discomfort then the Taxol treatments have. As usual we received nothing but the best of care.

When we returned home the kids had painted a pretty sign for Melissa that said " You did it". They also had given her a couple of balloons and a pretty shirt. Of course I'm sure this mostly had to do with grandma B helping them out. Her good friends from the IV treatment center also had given her a small gift. The funny part was it was in a spotted bag that Eli says matches her hairdo.

We would like to thank everybody for the prayers and your thoughts that we received the last couple of weeks after the last treatment did not go so well. Of course a special thanks to those who have provided meals the week of treatment. The kids tend to like everybody else is cooking better than mine.

A special thanks to Nicole Jensen who normally does all the posting on this page. This week she is gone to girls camp and has showed me how to post. So hopefully when she returns later in the week we can get some more postings put on there that actually are spelled correctly and have a good punctuation. Plus we will be adding the couple of pictures of the items Melissa received when Nicole gets back.
