This is a busy week for little Willa. She is getting daily chemotherapy and had her first day of radiation therapy this morning. She is given sedation during her radiation therapy becuase she must be absolutely still. This is very nice and will ensure no traumatic memories of her treatment. However-I would say she was a little grumpy after her therapy. But after about an hour we could coax a smile and she dove into several bowls of cereal.
We have met some other very nice parents who are also going through treatment. Everyone is so kind and there is some good sharing about how to handle different challenges.
Meanwhile Harps is cutting her first two teeth (thank goodness for Tylenol) and rolling around all over the floor. We assume she will eventually walk and this will not be how she arrives at kindergarden.
