Hangin' Out

So...today was Mom's 'day of rest'.
The day in between chemo and the re-insertion of her own stem cells.
She was a little tired, she said that between the vital signs and the IV beeping she was up all night.
 The nurse said she actually found Mom at one point asleep with the pillow on top of her face to block the IV light and the noise!

Note to self: bring mom ear plugs...haha.



We tried to get Mom up today and get her active since she was so tired...

Lots of walks around the unit and staring out of windows...
Here Dad is pointing out the race track nearby and....the jail...nice.

Tomorrow is the BIG DAY.
Tomorrow starting at about 1pm she will get her stem cells re-introduced back to her.
The doctors say she shouldn't feel too bad, mostly just a bad taste in her mouth from the preservative they use to keep the stem cells 'fresh'.


So at 1pm...start PRAYING!
