Today was my second chemo dosing.  I was given a drug called Fludarabine.  It was administered on its own, and is the same drug I will be getting along with the other chemotherapy starting tomorrow.  I was feeling great until about 3:30 this afternoon when I started feeling quite tired.  I layed down for a couple hours, and still feel as though I could sleep until 2016.  All things considered, and as far as side effects go, so far so good!  Bring it!

My sister Christi begins the injections to multiply her stem cells early tomorrow morning.  I pray she is without too many of the side effects associated with it.

An update on my friend Kerri, her new kidney is in, and I received a text from her earlier saying she was feeling pretty good.  Kerri had less than a 1% chance of finding a donor because she was a “rare” match.  The fact that someone somewhere far away thought to sign their donor card and therefor gave her a second chance is mind blowing.  Please consider signing yours.  A life was lost somewhere, and I’m sure people are grieving that loss.  Such a sad time for those people somewhere.  But the good that will carry on means so much to so many.  Such a selfless gift, and the best one anyone could ever give.

That’s all for today, as when the energy is low, so is the motivation to write.

Thanks again to everyone who has sent kind words, prayer, and positive mojo.  It means so very much.  More than you could imagine.
