Our first time traveling

  We found out on Wednesday that Keira's counts were very low but Dr. Halligan told us we would be fine to visit my parents because the chief of Oncology at the local hospital studied under him. Luckily, we made it through the long weekend with no fevers so no hospital visits were necessary. We went to Knoebels on Thursday and Friday and Keira had a blast on the rides. She basically slept through an awesome fireworks show on Saturday but we got her to watch some and she seemed to enjoy them. 

 Unfortunately, The chemo is really taking a toll on her, she won't eat, gets sick frequently and is exhausted pretty much all the time. We have five more weeks of really intense Chemo to get through and I hope they go by fast. It is really tough on all of us to see Keira suffering. It especially takes a toll on her brother because he doesn't understand what is going on. He keeps getting frustrated with her because all she wants to do is sleep and he is quite jealous of all the attention she gets from us because we are so concerned about her.
