Just after Eila's third tumor was discovered, I got an email about an offer from the
American Childhood Cancer Organization (ACCO) for kids undergoing cancer treatments. Knowing that Eila would have more chemo treatments ahead of her, and realizing that she doesn't actually remember ever doing this before, I requested one. It arrived today. They call it "
Cozy the Port-a-Cat", but we call it "Chemo kitty"...
It also came with its own medical bag full of supplies, and Eila loves it. Now she and her kitty can wear matching doctor masks and she can use it to help understand and explain what's happening to her. The first half of week was rough, Eila wasn't feeling well Monday night, Tuesday or Wednesday (we'll need to adjust her nausea medicine before the next cycle), so this was a very welcome treat to get in the mail.
