After a bit of a rough morning, Day -4 perked up.  Or, more accurately, Naomi perked up.  She ate fairly well throughout the day, played in the family room with me and Micayah, and then went to the playroom with a volunteer while Micayah and I were at Mass.  She and I are a mean team on tabletop soccer and whipped Micayah quite a few times.  She also enjoyed playing the piano there.  We got batteries and a screwdriver to make the Lite Bright work, so she was happy about that, too.  The playroom there is Montessori-inspired.  They have afternoon sessions each day for children well enough to attend as a group.  There is also a teacher on staff who works with the children one-on-one to give parents a break.

Her rATG treatment went quite well and her blood pressure stayed low enough that she did not need medicated through it.  During the rATG treatment, a nurse sits at the window and watches her the entire time and does vitals every 30 minutes.  It is interesting how quickly time goes by here.  But yet the days seem so long.

While Micayah and I attended Mass tonight, we talked with the retired Priest here who comes to COH and does visitations.  He took my name and phone number and will be coming to COH on Monday or Tuesday to anoint both Micayah and Naomi.

The end of Day -4 brings about the completion of 2/4 chemo doses and 1/4 rATG doses.
