Gemma's New Medicine



Yesterday the home nurse came to teach Ed and I how to administer Gemma's new medicine . She will receive an 8 hour infusion of Deferoxamine 5 days a week . Today we were on our own but everything went very smoothly with no problems. She loves her little ladybug backpack that stores her pump. So far so good with no side effects.

Everyone is doing great and so far no one has gotten the virus that made Gemma so sick 2 weeks ago . I thought for sure Teresa would get it because Gemma and her are so close and do everything together but she is doing fine .

Tomorrow Teresa is going to help me make her Birthday cake . She is so excited. Of course she picked pink icing for her princess cake !

  2. I had to wear a little pack like that and get IV antibiotics for 6 weeks after a sting ray bite of all things! I pray it works for your sweet Gemma! It sounds like it is great so far!! Happy Birthday to sweet Teresa!!!
