Quick update from Day #1 of chemo

Gracie started the actual chemotherapy after midnight last night and ended the treatments at approximately 2:30AM. Apparently she slept through most of it and woke up pale but chipper. I have attached a picture of her from this morning.

I was just wondering why the chemo is administered in the wee hours of the morning. Is it preferable for Gracie to be asleep during the treatment? Is it typical to feel nauseous or unwell during administration or does that tend to come later? I wondered since they had given her medication to fight nausea before even starting. I also wondered about the injections into the eye. I would assume that has to be done under a general anesthetic at some point?

Gracie looks so beautiful and happy that it is hard to imagine that she's just gone through the procedure she's had. We pray that she does well throughout the treatments.

Gracie,

You look so happy in all your pictures. I love this one of you with your happy wake up smile.

My husband has been fighting cancer too this year. He told me early on during his treatment that children are the real cancer heros. I bet you didn't know that you were a hero to a 63 year retired army Col and Viet Nam veteran but your are. If he were writing this he would tell you to " keep fighting until you get to the high ground." I can just tell you are a super fighter, we'll back you up with our prayers.
