Changed days for meds

We changed Madeline's chemotherapy treatment (methotraxate) to Saturday night instead of Friday night. Her medication really wipes her out and she sometimes has sleepovers, birthday parties, dance on Saturdays. It worked out really well this past weekend. She was able to rest all day Sunday. She actually had a neighbor friend come over that afternoon and they played until late in the evening.

She did have her competition dance team practice Saturday. We were able to go into the room to watch their routine at the end of practice. Madeline has one part in the routine that she has to pull up two girls from the floor. I could tell this was hard for her. Keep in mind she weighs around 70 lbs., is only 9 years old, is the youngest girl on the dance team (like two years younger) and she was pulling up girls somewhat larger than her. But in the back of my mind, I always wonder if it is something more.

Will that ever stop?
