Day 14... about halfway done with course 1!

Good morning!  Sorry we didn't get to write yesterday afternoon or evening.. we got busy watching tv and chatting.  There wasn't much news anyways!! 

Our day started early.. I think around 12:30am.. a nurse came in and woke mom up to tell her she couldn't have anymore water for the night.. thank god she did that.. I mean, for someone who only drinks 2 inches at a time.. and maybe a whole cup during an entire day, it was worth waking her up out of her ambien induced sleep to make sure she didn't happen to take a tiny sip of something!  (I know she was just doing her job.)  We both were able to go back to sleep.. so not too big of a deal.. 

She has a bone marrow biopsy at 1:30.. I guess the process of concious sedation starts around 10am, so they've said she can't eat or drink until it's over.  She's not too excited about that part.. she's starving! And she's worried they aren't going to give her lunch either!  Haha.. now she's begining to sound like Loo loo.  She's been eating so well here.. like 5 and 6 things for each meal.  Lot's of variety too.  Our nurse Jenna just came in and said she'd sneak her something for breakfast so that made mom happy! 

She's looking good.. still has ALL of her hair.  The nurses said it usually starts to fall out around day 14 so she kind of thought she'd wake up this morning and be bald.. not at all!  hardly a strand out of place.  I'm still hoping she'll prove everyone wrong and walk out of here with a full head of beautiful golden hair!! 

She's on to taking her pills.. like 15 at each sitting.. that's a meal in itself!  Plus her miralax.. yuck.  She takes her pills pretty quickly now, with yogurt.. so even though is a daunting task.. she's mastered it already. 

ok, well our breakfast trays just arrived.. she's already dug into her bacon.. so much for a light breakfast!! 

I'll update after the bone marrow biopsy.. let everyone know how well she did!   :)

love.
