July 13, 2012: Chemo- ROUND 1

          Brittany and team (Mom, Ali, Grandma Lian,Grandpa Sandy, Grammie and Jordan) are off to UCLA Infusion Center for Britt’s first round of Chemo.  Expected to take about 8-9 hrs.  We are prepared to be there all day; bringing snacks, reading material, movies and activities.  Since Britt can only have one visitor in with her at a time, we took turns rotating in; keeping her entertained and fed.  She requested In-n-Out for lunch and luckily, there was one right down the street.  We headed over and Uncle John showed up for a surprise visit, keeping her smiling and laughing until we got back with lunch.

Her nurse, Raquel, was FABULOUS!!!  She took exceptional care of Britt explaining each step of the way, what was going to happen.

She finished her infusion at about 5:30pm and did SUPER!  We headed home in traffic but with Grandpa driving we again got home safe and sound.


She came home to some beautiful roses that Ryan dropped off for her before he went out of town.

Britt did great, Sunday she began feeling nauseous but the Ativan and Zofran took care of that real quick.  A bit more fatigued, but other than that she was back in business.
