Monday...

One of the side effects of chemo is mouth sores. We've been lucky up to this point that Kaylee hasn't been struck with them, but something is wrong today. Her little tongue is swollen and she has pain. We think the sores have arrived. It's so painful that she is crying, and has been all morning. There isn't any thing we can do. The swish & swallow medicine isn't working or helping. So what do you do?

We thought we would sneak by the sore section of this disease. But we were stopped. Its not the first time. We thought we'd get by the hair loss section. But we were stopped. This disease is so painful. Physically and emotionally.

The pain is hurting our baby and you just want it to stop. But it is none stop. Its emotionally draining knowing your kid has cancer but when these additives or side effects start showing up it physically makes you sick. To have a fifteen year old child ask for help is heartbreaking.

I have to be honest. It could be any fifteen year old and it would be devastating. But when it is yours...
