Last Thursday was Honey Bears final chemo treatment!!! Yea!!! The celebrating didn't last long, because Honey fell more and more ill as Thursday and Friday passed. Some suggested she go to the hospital, but oh no - there was a wedding she was bound and determined to attend on Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately when the day came, Honey just could not do it.. too sick. To the Riley family Honey Bear admitting she is too sick to go somewhere means it is time for an intervention, so straight to the hospital we went. We packed her sorry self up and took her to Big Barnes in STL, and up until the moment she was admitted she claimed she was fine. After a few diagnostic studies she was diagnosed with a bowel obstruction. Honey ended up spending 8 days in the hospital, and was just released last night. She is feeling much better, and is very glad to be back in New Town. Oh yea, one more thing... while in the hospital Honey surprised us all by shaving off the few hairs that were left on her little head (a.k.a. her orangutan hairs)~ the good news is that the doctor says her hair will start growing back asap!
