After round 3...so much going on!

During our 3rd round of chemo doctor visit, we went to another appt. with Dr. Morgan because I had such a bad cough that would not go away.  She ordered fluids, heart rate checks for both sitting and walking, and also ordered my heart and pulmonary lung function tests to be done earlier than planned.  These tests are done after round 4 of chemo, but she was concerned about the effect that one of the chemo drugs was having on my lungs: the bleomycin. She prescribed a daily inhaler until the results of the test come back.  Here is me getting the MUGA, or heart test.

The PFT, or pulmonary function test, was the same one as before we started chemo...me breathing into a tube in certain patterns.

After the tests, we went home and watched a movie--just mom and I.

That was Friday. On Sunday morning, mom and I took off to go to Michigan to visit 2 colleges--it was our fall break!  We visited Spring Arbor University and also Albion College, both near my Aunt Gail and Uncle Jim. I liked Spring Arbor. While we were there, we stayed with Aunt Gail and Uncle Jim and were spoiled by her awesome cooking!  We also went out to breakfast at my family's most favorite breakfast spot: The Wooden Spoon. We actually met the president of the university while we were there.

The lovely blueberry pancake I got at The Wooden Spoon!

This is me at Spring Arbor. I loved the campus!

I also visited Mount Vernon Nazarene University on the Wednesday after the Albion visit on Tuesday.  I loved MVNU a lot as well. My decision for college is going to be hard!
