Home from the hospital

Hospital stay #2 ended on Tuesday afternoon after her radiation appointment.  It was great to be home and Malena was super excited to have Mom and Dad back home.  Our first night at home was a rough night as Alli woke up at 3:00am with an excruciating headache.  With her symptoms getting slightly worse again over the last two days there is more thought that the symptoms that triggered the second hospital visit may have been more related to potential radiation side effects.  She has completed 7 of the 10 treatments completed so the plan is to try and push through with the last 3 treatments.  We are going to step up some of the pain and nausea meds on a routine schedule to go with the higher dose of steroids she is on.  Here's hoping tonight goes a little better for Alli.
