2nd dose

The kids had a great time. Aimee's parent's drove out to New Haven and stayed at a hotel very close to Yale Medical Center. We dropped Xavier and Mathilde off with them in morning, and they had quite a fun filled day- coloring books, playdough, and enough toys to sink a ship! (Aimee's sister Kate came over too with Mercedes and Lilly to double the fun :) )

Meanwhile, Aimee's second dose went okay-ish. She had an allergic-like reaction to the chemicals at first, so they had to stop and dose her up with benadryl. She was fine after that, or least didn't react to the medicine. By the time we were done in the evening, though, Aimee was pretty exhausted.

This treatment seems to exact, slowly and increasingly, a toll on her body; she's dizzy and tired today, and her back seems to be aching constantly. Unfortunately, we won't know until the end of the trial whether it has been effective.
