Well it's seems we have now wrapped up the torturous testing. It was 10 days of test after test. I am telling you that by Wednesday of this week I was begging for the transplant just to end this poking and prodding. I told the transplant dr. (Dr. Applebaum) that compared to the last 10 days the transplant was going to be a piece of cake!
I got the schedule for next week and I do not have to go to the Clinic until WEDNESDAY-DO YOU HEAR ME - WEDNESDAY!! I feel like I'm on vacation! Wednesday will be more blood work, another test-which I can't remember and the final meeting with the transplant team called a Data Review Conference which is basically the review of all the test results, and the final recommendation for transplant. I will have my central line put in on Monday(9/28)-I hope-and be admitted on Tuesday(9/29) of the following week-just as planned. Chemo will begin on the 29th.
The biggest news of course is Meg is dialated to 2 and if she doesn't have this baby by Wednesday they will induce her and we will finally have our baby girl!
The weather has been amazing. I am hoping we go to the Zoo tomorrow & Pike Place Market and we need to find a cheaper grocery store because the prices around here just suck! It is so expensive you cannot believe it.
Dominic decided to get sick & has been running a fever for the past 24 hours and is a little sniffly. Let's keep our fingers crossed that I don't get it. He is such a cuddler especially when he doesn't feel good & I can't keep my hands off him! David is doing great and they are both so happy-it's very ironic. They love having Granny 24/7. Well that's it for now.... Love you guys

Hi Jen -
ReplyDeleteMary H. gave me the link to your blog. You are in the best place - I was out there with my first husband 15 1/2 years ago and the people at Hutch were wonderful every step of the way! They really are top in the cancer field.
Saw Joey and Anthony riding their bikes in the neighborhood - Joey hasn't changed a bit!
Dennis and I are thinking and praying for you and your family.
Love,
Amy Jacoby (Orlemann Ave.)
