This whole experience is really taking a toll on me emotionally. I can't see my kids which is very hard for me. The girls text me a lot especially Hailey. I am missing out on Hailey's birthday party today because we didn't think it would be a good idea to have me around a bunch of kids right before my transplant. It will be nice because Taylor is going to help Josh with the party. Taylor promised to take tons of pictures for me. I can't wait to see them.I'm actually going to see about meeting with Doctor about getting my anti-depression and anti-anxiety meds increased. I'm tired of crying all the time. I know that this is not an easy process and there is a lot of fighting that I need to do but I need a little more help to keep it under control. I miss my family and home so much. This is great being in such a big hospital room but its hard at the same time.
I'm gonna go for now and see if I can catch the kids and Josh on Skype. We bought a webcam for my laptop so we can see each other. I love you all very much!!!

Murielle,
My prayers go out to your grandson. I have not heard of that staging, I was diagnosed 2A. That's great he's starting his treatment this week. I'm sure he will do great!
My transplant went well. I officially had it on March 31st. I'm feeling a bit tired but it's to be expected. I'm actually gonna take sometime today to update my blog today!
Thank you for taking the time to read. I'm here if you have questions or just need someone to talk to!!
Take care,
Jane
My husband was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in August of 2009, just 2.5 weeks before we had our second daughter. He went through 6 months of ABVD chemo. We just found out he relapsed yesterday 5/17/11. He will need a bone marrow transplant too. We are so sad. The news really stings, as you know. Hopefully, we will reach a new normal in a couple of weeks. I hope you are doing well and you are healthy. Warmly, Erin
