It's Orange Feather Boa Day!

Kaitlyn's last chemo at 5:00 a.m. came and went quietly -- but in my heart I was cheering that the infusions are finally over.  I figured out this morning that over the span of these last 5 months Kaitlyn has had 63 doses of various types of chemo meds which have caused:

nausea and vomiting,
mucositis,
c-difficile,
all of her hair to fall out (eyelashes, brows, etc.),
her nails to die and break off,
the skin to peel off her hands and feet,
the lining to peel off the inside of her mouth,
depression,
loss of concentration,
insomnia,
numerous pains and high fevers,
a loss of appetite which resulted in treatment-induced anorexia,
severe colitis,
panic attacks,

AND--

the complete remission of Acute Myelogenous Leukemia.

Addendum:  Here's the link for those who don't know about the boa.
