Yesterday we went to Emory for an additional 3 pic lines to be put in Charmaine's chest. These are IV ports on plastic lines to her heart. They left the original two in so she has five total now.
This morning at 620am she will start her 1st round of full body radiation. It will last for two hours; then another at lunch for two hours. This will happen for three days.
Saturday and Sunday she will get heavy dose chemo. These two things will neutralize her blood cells and platelets making her ready for the actual transplant.
She is good spirits now. We met a man there yesterday that was there for his 100 day check up and had done very well with hardly no real problems other than loosing 53 lbs.
I'll try to post you all daily on whats is going on and her condition.
Getting up at 4 am is exhausting by mid day.
We expect to be there 4 weeks.
Thanks for your prayers.
Sam
