Today was suppose to be the first day of chemo but the doctor here had to fight with the insurance company all day to let us have the chemo treatments through the children's hospital of philadelphia. She got it approved and then they could not get a good vein in Chloe. The poor girl got poked about 8 times yesterday when she was but under and so it made it hard for the nurses here. They tried four times and decided she needs to have a port put in for her treatments her veins just are to hard to find and in case during the treatments she needs an emergency transfusion they don't want any complications. Poor girl, now she will have a port in her chest for the next 6 months on top of everything else.
So they are admitting her to the hospital tonight and she will have surgery tomorrow for the port they are hoping she will be done with the port and can start treatments by 8pm because if she is done with her 1st treatment by midnight they will let her have her 2nd on on friday if not then we need to wait to have the 2nd treatment on saturday and then stay the following day to have the special shot they give after chemo... so we will not be returning until saturday possibly sunday possibly monday....
I just hope the ansthesia this time goes more smooth than yesterdays did.... so we will be spending the night at the hospital tonight and if we get any more information I will let everyone know.
