Day 2
Aimee received her first dose of Cytoxan at 9:20 last night. Infusion for about an hour. She is also on something called Mesna, which is supposed to prevent any complications with her bladder and kidneys that can be caused by the the cytoxin. So far, so good- she's been sleeping ever since. I guess this stuff really knocks you out. Well, they also pre-dosed her with a barrage of anti-pain and anti-nausea drugs, so that may be part of it too. Another dose tonight @ ~9pm. I'll let you know if anything else develops. These first 2 days are supposed to the worst part of the chemotherapy.

Dear Ones,
It will be a blessing if Aimee can sleep though a good deal of these doses. Sleep can knit up that old raveled sleeve of care. We pray it is blessed and refreshing sleep for her (and that you get some, too). Please tell her when she wakes that we are by her side in spirit and in prayer, lifting her up to the care of the Blessed Mother and her Son.
Tons of love,
Chris and Bainard
Keep up the good vigilance, both of you!! Lots of love and prayers.

Yeah for sleep sleep sleep. How good if at least some of the minutes during these next few days and nights can be spent this way. You too, Will? We're hoping so.
All our love,
Hilary and Kevin
God bless you both as you go through this together. We will be praying for you both to get some rest and some healing. It is good for you both. And may our blessed Mother wrap her warm cloak of comfort around you. Love from KS
Dear Will,
Ditto on Sadie's comment. With all you have to think about, it's really very much appreciated that you're keeping us up-to-date. I hope you're able to sleep a bit too.
Praying that these first two days pass as they have been thus far.
Love to you both,
Keepin' the prayers comin',
