It seems the mothers and I have started getting used to the hospital life once again. After waiting all day to be called into Upenn, we were finally summoned at 5pm. And were admitted around 7pm. We only packed about 3 suitcases full of clothing, food, dvds, and other fun stuff for the next four days. I can't imagine what we'll be loading into the hospital during transplant ;)
It is now just about 10 o'clock, and we've decided to start the 'E' portion of ICE tonight. Then tomorrow morning, bright and early I'll be hooked up for the 24 hour combo, and if all goes well we'll top off my hospital stay on Friday with my last dose of chemo.
We anticipate that I will stay an extra day to tapper me off from IV meds to oral pills this time around, to prevent any complications later on in the next week.
Can't thank you all enough for your words of encouragement as of late
and cards, thoughts, calls, and emails of love and support.
I apologize if I have not responded, but know
please know - I hear each and every one of you.
To my Florida loves, Curley Teachers, and Lesley Family. I will always be forever in debt to your generosity and beautiful souls. You have made this difficult time, easier for me and my family. I could never thank you enough.
Sending all my love,
to all of you

Bekah,
Just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you.
If there is an up side to all this, perhaps it is that you are inside missing all of the yucky East Coast ice and rain and will be finished by the time spring is in full bloom.

Your moms rock! What a blessing to have them here for you at this time. I had to go through my sct alone, for the most part. I can't imagine how wonderful it is to be surrounded by so much love.
You are doing it, keep your chin up and eyes looking towards the heavens.
Much love,
Brandy
