Hi Everyone,
So far so good. Other than being tired,
obviously, Shel is handling everything very well. She got her
first transfusion on Saturday when one of her blood counts dropped
too fast, which is all par for the course. Today is the BIG day,
she gets the transplant. That's supposed to start around noon.
The doctor told us she won't notice anything for a couple of days,
but around the 4th or 5th day post transplant is when she'll start
feeling pretty bad.
One of the pictures is of a volunteer
musician, Orville, I think was his name, and Shelsi singing Somewhere
Over the Rainbow. I took a video of it with Shel's camera, so
hopefully Shel & Eric will be able to post it on their blog
soon.
Another picture is of Shelsi with Seda,
Dr. Lill's nurse. She has been there with us every step of the
way.
When I was with Shel on Friday I wanted
to decorate her room for Easter so I went to Longs just up the
street. There were no decorations for Easter other than the usual
baskets, etc. I looked up and noticed that hanging from the ceiling
were all these great decorations. I asked if they sold them there
and was told no, but they would be happy to give me some. That's
where the butterflies hanging on the wall came from.
Another picture is Shelsi holding some
little Easter egg gifts sent to her by Lee, a friend of mine from
work. Thank you so much for being so thoughtful Lee.
The weather on Easter weekend was absolutely
beautiful. We had record breaking heat in Orange County which
was really strange being so hot when from certain vantage points
you can still see the local snow covered mountains. Weird dichotomy
in Southern California, to be sure.
Peace and Blessings to All,
Sheri
