Moving to transplant

Entered hospital Tuesday (1/12) eve. Wednesday was a busy day and required lots of rest. They have me on an oral chemo. Drinking lots of fluids so I don't have to be hooked up to the IV fluids. IV chemo starts tomorrow for a couple days, and then a day of rest before the stem cell infusion on the 20th. Then they'll be watching for my blood counts to drop before the donor system takes hold and starts bringing the counts back up....that's when the close monitoring really begins. They expect I'll be able to head home the week of February 8th as long as all goes smooth.

Wearing my prayer shawl given to me by dear friends Judy & Don.

Till next time.
