All about ports

On December 27, 2018January 2, 2019 By ElaineIn Uncategorized2 Comments

When Eli had his biopsy to confirm his cancer diagnosis, the surgeon put in a port. It is a device inserted under the skin through which his chemotherapy medications can be administered. It can also be used for imaging contrast, which is what we are using it for today for an MRI that will help …

Pets and More

Adam and I aren't pet people. I always feel the need to wash my hands after touching an animal or being touched by one and I don't like pet hair on my clothes or furniture or food. The older I get, the more I dislike being around animals. However, my kids don't feel the same. …

Don't let his smile fool you. Eli is holding a syringe to dispense oral meds, which is how he took last week's chemo. He hates liquid oral meds, so we practiced with orange juice, so he could figure out the best way to take the very bitter chemo with as little tasting as possible. It …
