Brinley went to get her chemo today. She did fine. Her ANC is very low, at 300, so we have to be very careful. I always get nervous with a low ANC. Brinley is very tired today. Wouldn't you know it, the night I needed sleep desperately she was crying until 3AM. I have no idea why. She just wanted to be rocked, the minute I put her back in her bed she would cry again. David was still at work trying to finish a project, so needless to say it was a very long night for the three of us. So after chemo, Brinley was worn out, her little eyes looked so tired tonight. It has been a hard couple of days. What I wouldn't give to have a double, so I could just crawl into my bed and sleep while someone was taking care of everything else.

Now for the fun news. Taylor, Jade and I get to go to Vegas tomorrow for the weekend! Taylor has a soccer tournament and we aren't comfortable with Brinley being away from the hospital, so since David took the girls last tournament, I get to do it this time. I'm really excited to have a little break. It should be good for us girls, although it will probably be tough on poor David! Brinley has been very draining, I can't even begin to describe. So unless David is planning on doing some updates while I'm gone, you probably won't hear from us until Monday or Tuesday, woo hoo! I will miss them though, I wish we could go back to the days when we could stick together as a family instead of one of us always having to stay home. Hopefully I will come back a little refreshed, because I am truly beat. Have a great weekend!
