Getting Close!

Well it's time for a good update, so much has happened.  After getting out on Superbowl Sunday, the very next day I was unable to hold anything down.My stomach and throat burned pretty bad. Luckily we had a doctors appointment the very next day.  I still lost more weight aside from the six I already lost the week before. Dr. Vance took one look at me and my counts and said he was putting me back in, news to my ears because I really wanted to have testing done to fine out why I have vomited now for three weeks!  Sure enough all tests came back negative....good but I still didn't have the answers I wanted, they concluded that the chemo caused toxicity in my intestines, stomach etc. It would just have to run it's course. Now that my care has been transferred to Baylor in Dallas, it's not easy for everyone to just come and drop by to see me any more.  I didn't realize how bad this would make me feel, but I sure get lonely. So I called my dad and he had no hesitation to drop everything.... and come see me for a few days. He did exactly what dad's do, made me feel better, we shopped together, oh and yes when we woke up one morning dad said "hey kate, let me see your hair brush" with out even thinking....we both looked at each other and laughed up a storm...its moments like that I will remember forever. So Dr. Vance came in shortly after to give us news we've been waiting for...March 15 will be my new "Birthday" or transplant day! yay!  so on March 8th I will start the radiation. The babies were here for Valentines Day visiting me in the hospital. Ryan lost his first tooth so that was the highlight for him lol.  Well that's all I've got right now!
