Back at the hospital

Well I'm back in the hospital for my transplant. I was was checked in yesterday after I was finished with getting a  PICC line put in. It was not the best experience because I have weird blood vanes.  My regular chest port is on my left side so they wanted to use my right arm for my PICC line. Well since I have weird vanes they were not able to thread the cord to the correct part of my body so it only went into the mid part of my chest.  So we will use the PICC line for just the stem cells and we are using my chest port access for everything else.

I'm on day 2 of chemo and have 6 days left. Then on March 29th, I will do the actual transplant.  I was fortunate to find out my donor is a 10 out of 10 match, 50 year old female. Thats all they will tell me about her for up to a year. My hospital room is amazing, it is huge. I have a closet and a dresser for my clothes. I also have table and three chairs, plus a recliner bed for visitors.  Not that they really want me having too many overnight visitors but once in a while is okay.

Monday the 21st was Hailey's birthday so it was really nice I didn't have to go into the hospital until after her birthday.  Dad is letting her have a slumber party this weekend which I'm bummed I'm going to miss.  We couldn't take the chance of me getting sick before I came in.   Taylor is in charge of taking pictures so I will get some uploaded after the party.

Well I'm gonna go and relax for a while, take a shower and wait for Josh to get here.  I am going to do my best at updating my blog on a more daily basis, so please feel free to leave comments and I will comment back.
