Clara's First Walk

I had been assuming Clara was not allowed out of her room - which I now know is called "isolation" - since her neutrphils have been just above zero.  Since she has actually been feeling relatively well and chemo is over, I posed the question to "the team" (her doctors) of when she would be able to get out and about!  The answer?  Now! 

So we went for our first walk yesterday and took another today.  Her eyes were quite red because she was overtired.  But it was great to take a peak at the atrium at the center of the Children's hospital and right outside our wing.

They provide wagons so we can take longer walks.  I am looking forward to her being able to sit up or stay propped up a little bit more steadily so we can wheel her around.  Plus, I think she'd like the speed!  :-)  This girl loves acceleration!

Until then, Clara LOVES to be walked around, and I really enjoy being able to hold her and walk without being tied to the bedside.  She has been taken off "continuous monitoring" orders but is still often hooked up depending on which medications she is getting throughout the day and whether or not she needs to be monitored during that infusion.
