Radiation Treatment

I have been meaning to update our blog a long time ago but life has been so crazy. We are three weeks into radiation treatment with Brooklyn. I stay in the Salt Lake area all week and then come home on the weekends. The first week was probably the hardest. Everything felt so unreal and Brooklyn really struggled. Since then she has gotten use to being put to sleep every morning. She has lost quite a bit of hair. The rest of her hair covers everything for now so it just looks like she has really thin hair. The radiologist told me to expect most of her hair to fall out. Brooklyn has only gotten sick two days. We are trying to combat this with anti-nausea medicine part way through the week. Once a week we go into Primary Children's to meet with her oncologist. They check her side effects and change her dressing on her PICC line (an IV the has a direct line to the heart). Brooklyn is such a trooper through all of this. She has found favorite things at both hospitals and is mostly happy. All the nurses and staff just adore her. We hope that the next three and half weeks go by as smoothly and as quickly. Thank you every one who has kept us in their prayers.
