Yesterday was admission day.  Such a roller coaster.  Shaye drove in in the morning, so the children and I were overloaded with happiness, but we had less than a minute to visit before we had to run out the door.  I was weighed, poked, had the central line thingy put in (ouch a little). And was set up with a “test” dose of bulsufan (chemo) so they can understand how my body reacts to it.  

My blood pressure was an issue for them, so they scheduled a cardiac MRI, and wheeled in an EcG last night.

It was a super long day, but Shaye made good use of the equipment in my room.  He hasn’t started blowing up rubber gloves for Ayden yet…that will come, I’m sure.  He did however turn my sink into a “diet coke” cooler/bath which raised the eyebrows of everyone..lol

 
We were allowed to leave and head back to the apartment at almost 10pm.

This morning the phone rang, they wanted us on the unit by 7:45 (15 minutes…eeeek!

  So here I am racing. Back, in my jammes, look n FINE 😳 

The MRI of my heart was long, then a CT of sinuses (not great, he says this will be one of the biggest challenges for infection for me).  Then we dealt with super high BP and my lung issues until about 2pm. 

We lost Ayden for a bit:

 

Now I am relaxing back at the apartment, Shaye took the kids to a movie, and his dad (Sal) and my grandma are visiting in the living room.  I’m still in my jammies.

Tomorrow I am getting the new Chemo.  My Doctor has given them strict instructions not to call me before 10 if they need anything.  Love him.  

Shaye heads back in the morning to MC the zoo fest fundraiser.  It’s an organization near and dear to us.  If you don’t have tickets yet, consider it.  It’s a fun evening.

Please continue to keep my friend Kerri Park in your prayers as she receives her much needed brand new kidney today (her birthday).

Peace & Love
