Ups and downs

Its been an up and down few days. Saturday night Caitlin got
quite sick and ended up vomiting up her NG tube, they left her
for the night but another one had to go in the next morning.
She is currently on 3 different antibiotics treating the infection in
her line, all is going well there.
Saturday night was her first night of another chemo, so from
12 oclock on saturday they started hyperhydration, this helps
protect the bladder from the chemo. That means she has a lot of
fluids going through her Hickman line. Everything going in, and
going out is now measured.
Doug and Logan came up for the weekend, Caitlin and Logan were
comparing notes. The scar on Logan's neck is longer than Caitlin's,
she told him they practiced on him. Logan managed to make Caitlin
laugh with his latex glove antics. He put one on his head and over
his nose then he blew it up with his nose. I tried putting the video
of  it on the blog but as it turns out I'm not that clever.
Today has been a big day, she is having two different types of chemo
and she got her hair cut. It was suggested we cut it, because it is
so messy when it does fall out, it ends up in your eyes and mouth and
all through your bed. Just really uncomfortable. I contacted a salon
and they were more than happy to come to the hospital and cut her
hair, and on their day off! Michaela and Kelly from Blaze hair arrived
with nail polish and purple hair colouring. Caitlin now has purple hair
on one side. It comes out after about 4 washes. I will put some photos
up later.
Today is another big day, she starts the day with a blood transfusion
we are just waiting for the blood to arrive. She is also having two types
of chemo again. Today is day -2, Thursday she gets her new cells!
