July 1st. update

Sorry for just a brief update this time.
Carol started her chemotherapy treatment last night.
With the medications given prior to the chemo, her night was very uneventful.
She fell asleep so fast that her chemo was given while sleeping.
All through the night nurses came into the room every hour or two and checked her vitals or drew blood to monitor in case of a reaction. No reaction the first night.

Today she was visited by numerous doctors, physical therapist. pharmacist, etc.
As expected, after breakfast and with her sneakers on, she went for a 45 minute walk around the hallways of this floor, which is the only place she is allowed to go and she could have kept going but doctors wanted to see her.

Our son Daniel visited us today. Brought us some things we had forgotten to pack and some special frozen cantaloupe granita with mint that our friend Cathy sent to help Carol in the event of mouth sores.
While here Daniel also took a 15 minute walk with Carol. She needed to make up the time earlier interrupted.
We also celebrated Daniel's birthday early because we will not be with him this Sunday.
We told him to stay in Sarasota and have some fun with his friends.

In about one hour Carol will be infused with the second dose of chemo.
I hope it goes as smooth as last night.
I will keep you posted.
Thank you.
Jaime
