Thursday, October 30, 2008

I didn’t feel very good today – my stomach was hurting. I am just so ready to get all this over with and go home. I miss my friends and my family a lot. Tomorrow should be pretty fun though because all the doctors and nurses get dressed up for Halloween and all the kids can trick or treat. I probably will but I already have enough candy for 3 Halloweens!!

Note from Bree’s Parents:

Brianna’s appointments moved along very quickly today. When it was time for her radiation treatment she started to feel a little bit nauseated….we don’t believe it was from any medication or treatment, rather her anxiety or nerves about being homesick. She is really doing her best to be strong and we can be so proud of how she is determined to “just get it over with”! She did perk up a little bit and we went back to the Ronald McDonald House to relax. We decided to wait until after dinner to tell her she has another 2 hour MRI tomorrow morning and will have to be sedated again. It should be an interesting night and early morning because the steroid medication gives her a ravenous appetite and she has been having a few snacks throughout the evening hours to get her through…we just hope that they get her in to her sedation appointment asap so she can be in her best spirit, ‘get it over with’. I am sure she will be looking forward to a big lunch after she recovers.

We hear that St. Jude puts on an unbelievable Halloween Party all throughout the hospital. Every wing has its own theme, doctors/nurses/patients/etc. all get dressed up and kids can trick or treat all afternoon. (Not that Bree needs anymore candy…according to her we have enough for 3 Halloweens!)

Thank you again for all of your prayers and support as we appreciate it more than you’ll ever know!

Love to all,

Bree’s Parents
