Today was supposed to be Dani's "rest day". Well, if being nauseous and unable to sleep is restful, then it was. She didn't have any further chemo or great amount of medication, except for beginning the immunosuppressants, which, guess what?, make her NAUSEOUS.
The doctors came again and Dani and the russian doctor exchanged a few sentences. It will be great for her to practice. She is looking forward to that. One of the doctors came in a gave us details about what to expect the next few days. Frankly, it sounds pretty grim. The transplant itself will take place late tomorrow night. The stem cells are to arrive at Sea-Tac at 8 pm. then come to the hospital and be checked at the lab and Dani should start receiving them around midnight. I am planning a "sleep over" tomorrow night, maybe I'll bring popcorn and we'll watch late movies.
I have met quite a few people going back and forth on the shuttle buses. It's weird to be in a community where everyone is dealing with some form of cancer. They come from all over the states, but are happy to be here in Seattle because of the excellent care offered here. We are grateful as well. I do expect the next two weeks to be rough and long, but we will get through with flying colors. With fuzzy slippers and swedish fish we can accomplish anything! I hope I'm not too serious today, but we are getting pretty serious here.
Hey! Serious in Seattle! Think it would make a good title? More later, bye for now,
MOM
