I'm Home

Today was Jaimee's best day in the hospital...
She was unleashed from all those tubes and bags she had attached to her
The doctor said her parents do not have to give her a shot everyday like we thought
Jaimee was sent home with 7 different kinds of medications to take throughout the week-no shots until Friday...woohoo...
She met and took a picture with the, "Fight For Life" police and sheriff teams which may get published in their newsletter, we'll see...

Jaimee earned 16 beads of courage for everything she went through so far and will continue to earn more throughout her journey

Jaimee's immune system is not the same as everyone else, with chemo she will not be able to go shopping, b-day parties, school, family gatherings, or anywhere else with a lot of people around...If Jaimee has a fever of 101-102 degrees she will have to be admitted to the hospital...Hopefully with our flu shots we won't catch anything and give it to her...

Jaimee is on a strict diabetic and low tyramine diet http://www.healthsquare.com/mc/fgmc2007.htm which we're trying to follow...We'll be cooking a lot of fresh stuff for Jaimee and giving the leftovers to Tay...hehehe...Dr. Armenian said Jaimee will have an uncontrollable hunger that will amaze us...We can't wait to see it happen...

We go back on Friday for her check up, shots, and to meet and greet other patients going through cancer...
