Gratitude to finish Phase II

Friday November 2, 2018

     Woke up early after a real night of sleep! I am just so excited to have labs and training on how to change my bandage for the my time home! We will meet with the doctors this morning, but are hoping to have only one more set of labs tomorrow and then Uber it right to the airport!

     Upon reflection, this has been a tough Phase, a true rollercoaster of labs and results and side-effects, etc. Between my parents and Paul, my Caretakers were off the charts!  I don't actually know all they did because I was so groggy, but I appreciate Everything!!! 

     When we got the call last night that the they had collected enought stem cells. .  it feels like it was all worth it!!  We went for a nice celebratory walk around the Lake and had some dinner.   And, when we got back to the Marriott room, the light was blinking that we had "maxed out" the credit card!! 😁 Yes, it is time to go!! 😂😂

    I am am so excited for the next little break at home and then to come back up for Phase III (Transplant).

     And with my brain coming back, I think I figured out how people can comment at the bottom (?!) This blogging is a whole new adventure for me!!

Very good sign this morning!!

PHASE II COMPLETE!!

Yes, just got the call that they collected enough cells today! I get to head home on Saturday and have a little break before coming up on Nov 13 to go Inpatient.

Thank you all for your constant prayers!
