Leanne's mouth sores were worse on Friday so she called the oncologist to ask what else they could do. She has "magic mouthwash" and has been doing other rinses and still was not feeling any relief. Eating and drinking were getting harder. Dr. Bloom decided on Friday to hold Leanne's one medicine for at least a week in order to let her mouth heal. She was pretty frustrated about this but Dr. Bloom said it was pretty common and not a big deal. He said it does not mean the medicine isn't working, it is just the thing about this medicine. He also prescribed some pain medicine to help her feel better and eat and drink easier. All of that said, Saturday was a tough day. Leanne took pain medicine because she needed it but due to not eating and drinking a whole lot, it made her very nauseous. Please pray that the mouth sores heal quickly and we find a balance of pain medicine that does not make her sick.
On a much lighter note, Team Chin gained a sweet, new member on Tuesday.
Claire Leanne Euken was born to Katie (Leanne's older sister and the blog's usual author) and Bret. She weighed in at 6 lb 13 oz. Mom, dad, Claire, and big sister Mollie are all doing wonderful!
The Lord has done great things for us and we are filled with joy!
