Day -3

Today is day -3 which means that we are 3 days from the cell infusion. That will happen on Wed. the 26th and is considered day Zero. Every day after that gets a + (+1, +2, etc) in front of it. It got harder for Pam today. She is wiped out and looks tired and pale. She is already in bed since 6pm. Today she got the second drug in the chemo regimen and then it followed with 4hrs of hydration. This dosage was also accompanied by several other drugs to help with naseau, bladder, and immune system. So lots of foreign material pumped into her today. We are hoping to still go home tomorrow after the chemo. It should be finished around 4/5pm and then we can head home for a day "off". We will then come back down early on Wed. to get ready for the cells that will go in around 2pm or so.
Pam continues to be a shining light in a situation that no one should ever have to endure.
We will post again after the infusion.

Love and all the strength we can muster for the two of you there - from your neighbors here, Anne and David. The boys are GREAT - came caroling to our house with a bunch of friends and parents today. All is well in the neighborhood, and we can't wait to have it "complete" with the two of you home for Christmas Day. Much love, A & D

Merry Christmas! Ho! Ho! Ho!

This year I learned that Christmas still comes no matter where we happen to be. (Kinda like the Grinch story - there's no stopping it!) No matter what, this will be a Christmas you will never forget.

I am always in your corner. I am always thinking about you and supporting you. I love you Pam!

XOXOXO
Your forever friend,
Anita
