Yesterdaywas the last morning of chemo for this cycle. After a nap, Lily woke up hungry for chocolate chip cookies. Hmm. Of course- she hasn't wanted cookies in weeks so when I went to the commissary- I passed by the cookie dough-and kept going. So I tell her I don't have cookies. "You can make them" well- I couuuuuld..."pleeeeeeeeeeeease". Ferb- I know what we are going to do today. She likes to help. So I know there will be cleanup. But her counts are already dropping and I know she is going to want the beaters- how do I get around feeding a borderline immunocompromised patient uncooked dough? A little slight of hand and quick thinking. I cream the sugar and butter and transfer the beaters to another bowl- the rest is done by hand. SO no salmonella and beaters still get a good lickin. And the smiles make it worth it- really isn't that why we do anything?
