Rough Weekend

This weekend has been a difficult one for Kera.  The week started off really well with Kera feeling good, and having the positive results back from the MRI.  She even started going back to school in the afternoon on Wednesday.  She went back to school again on Thursday, and things were going well there.  I talked to her teachers about the boy that was in her class last year that teased her about her cheeks because he said something to her again on Wednesday while they were lining up to go back to class.  Kera's teacher told all of the 3rd grade teachers about this boy and what he was doing, and the boy's teacher, who is currently on maternity leave right now, wrote me an email saying that she was not scheduled to go back for a few weeks, but that she was going to go to school the next day to talk to the boy herself.  She said she would make sure Kera felt safe and that the boy didn't bother her anymore.  I was relieved about that, and hopefully it would help her feel more comfortable going to recess.  

So Wednesday and Thursday were good, then Friday morning Kera woke up feeling very nauseous and had a small headache.  Friday night we had plans to go as a family and have a cookout and wienie roast at the park.  I told Kera to try and rest, so she would feel well enough to go.  I don't think she felt great, but she wanted to go.  We had a good time roasting hot dogs and smores, and letting the kids play at the park, but I could tell she wasn't feeling great.  She has been eating very little lately, and will only eat a few bites of things. We had fun telling ghost stories by the fire, then we packed up for home.  The next morning Kera woke me up to tell me that she felt really awful.  She said when she woke up everything went black and she couldn't see right away.  She said it took her a few seconds to see, and she threw up soon after she got up.  The rest of the day she also struggled with her energy level and couldn't  do much.  I found her a bike at a garage sale even and she didn't come out to look at it until later that evening. As a side note I did find a great deal on a leather couch and chair with ottoman for only $700 that morning.  Gotta take joy in some things right!  ;)  

This morning she woke up again feeling very bad and had the same problem with her eyes.  She said she woke up and couldn't see, so she sat on her bed for a minute, and once her eyes came into focus she ran to the bathroom and threw up.  So these past three mornings have been really bad and I'm wondering what the deal is.  Mostly she has the problem with her eyes in the mornings after she gets up from sleeping, but sometimes her head will hurt and her vision is blurry when she gets up after sitting down.  Before this whole thing happened I had scheduled several doctor appointments for Kera tomorrow, one of them being an opthalmologist, and another one a psychologist, a natural homeopathic dr, and her radiation oncologist.  So it will be a long day, but I'm very glad that we made those appointments now because when I first called them to schedule, the ophthalmologist and the homeopathic dr. didn't have openings until December. Our primary childrens oncologist called them and they were able to get her in to all of these people on Monday.  I'm hoping that we can find out some helpful information tomorrow.  

As I'm typing this Kera is feeling well enough to fight with Michael and make him cry, so I guess I should take pleasure in that?? ;)
