Day 210 BMT 0

So the stem cell transplant is officially done.. mom's been unhooked from all the infusion stuff, and is now just on saline like normal!  She didn't feel a thing, in fact, she was a bit disappointed (dad said) because she missed the whole thing!  She was talking to the nurse, and before she knew it, it was over!  She couldn't believe she missed her "tomato soup" infusion... guess it looked just like tomato soup. I guess thats better than it looking like slimer green ectoplasm or something weird!  She also commented that she had a grilled cheese for lunch, so she figures it went perfect! 

For the rest of the night mom's going to finish her dinner, snuggle into her polka dot fleece blanket and watch Idol.. she's looking forward to that. 

We can't believe this day is here... and done.. it seems like yesterday we found out mom was sick, and then what it was going to take to get her better... now, 210 days later, she's made it through another giant hurdle on the road to recovery.  we all know there will be bumps and maybe some pot holes.. but she's got a positive, relaxed attitude and she is ready to face the rest of this head on.  Tomorrow we get to start counting up.. we have hope that by day 104 we'll be packing up the hotel room and heading home so we all, especially mom, can get back to living her life! 

thank you again for the positive energy, the prayers and the love. we appreciate it more than you can ever know...

love.
