Oh what a fun day we had yesterday! I decided to take the girls blueberry picking up at Jones' Tree Farm, and we brought along three very special friends, Claire, Chucky and Mike. We got to ride on the "Berry Ferry" to the fields where the most plumpest berries could be found. The girls (and Claire, chucky and Mike) ate more berries than their stomach's could handle. After that we soon parted ways with Chucky and Mike and headed over to Claires house for a swim! The little water bugs that they are had a blast and refused to get out of the pool. Well until food was mentioned that is. Getting dressed never happened so fast before, so we had headed over to Chili's to get a bite to eat. Soon came nap time for all! We had more plans for later so we needed our rest!
Since Friday, my cousin Kim has been giving Mia her injections at her home. Yesterday was my chance to go for the gusto! Instead of Kim telling me what to do, her peachiness piped up and gave me step by step directions. I think I did ok, Mia said owwwwies but not in dire pain. After all was said and done, I handled it quite well. She is coping with the reactions to the medication ok, but the fevers and achiness are more evident now than it was with her phase 1 treatment. The symptoms may seem unsettling but Tylanol and Motrin seem to do the trick. Mia seems to think that if she swims in a chilly pool her fever will disappear like magic. I wonder how true this could be. Either way, we still have a long time to go before we find out if this treatment is working. Her spirits are high which leaves us nothing but positive thinking. Thanks to Claire who has been my go to girl since all of this started happening. The girls adore her and just love to be around her.
We are off now to go shopping! What else is new right!? We only have 15 more days until we leave for the Mouse House! I really have to start getting the last odd's and ends so we are ready to go!
