Smurf juice or blue kool-aid?

There is something very strange about this picture. Blue liquid, of any kind, should not be injected into any one's body! The nurse called it Smurf juice and Dr. Jeong calls it blue kool-aid - either way it's just not right!

Down to the last drop! This is Heather, she is a nurse at the Cancer Center. Today it was her job to get every last drop of blue kool-aid into Mom's veins. Even she admitted the blue stuff is just weird. At $1200 a dose, we better get it all. Anyone have a to-go cup?

We go back tomorrow and Wednesday and then round 3 is over. This chemo has about the same side effects as the orange kind, but it takes a little longer to set in. Just as Mom was growing a little peach fuzz on her head, we go and kill it again. O-well, at least it will grow back-- and some of it was brown, not all gray!
