December 21, 2010 - 3 Days to Transplant

Hi everyone!

Just a short update since there isn't much new to report on.

Alex is doing surprisingly well. We are still going through the 3 showers a day and they are NOT fun for Alex. Tomorrow at 2pm we'll be done with showers. All of us are looking forward to that. Today started the chemo called Cytoxin. This only ran for an hour but the rescue drug Mesna runs continuously 24 hours a day. She also has many fluids running because this is the stuff that is really hard on the bladder. She will get the same dose of Cytoxin tomorrow. Thursday she'll get a rest day. Today Paul the psychologist came to visit. He's always a welcome visitor around here. Alex just loves chatting with him. This I.V. pole is slowly growing. She is hooked up to 6 pumps now. We are told that's nothing... scary!

We've had lots of great Christmas goodies dropped off by generous people around here. Some very nice person dropped off a gift card to the hospital cafeteria for the parents here. SUCH a thoughtful gift. Even though it's the worst place to eat EVER!!! It's still a nice place to go grab a drink or something.

That is about all that's fit to print today. Nothing too exciting which is good. Thanks everyone for tuning in. We appreciate everyone's support so much! I will update in a few days with more information and photos. I hope everyone is enjoying the last few days of Christmas shopping. I'm so glad we are done with ours :o)
