All lumps, bumps, and skull creases are benign. Tomorrow morning V. gets a catheter in her neck which sounds a little scary and makes her a bit nervous. It'll be Jack's day off work so he'll be able to be at the hospital for support. The first stem cell harvest will be in the afternoon.
V. is hoping to come home soon. We know that there's always the chance that things could go off course over the next few days, but if things change we'll just deal with it then. For now we're going to assume a normal course of events, a high yield harvest, and a quick discharge leaving plenty of time to be home and enjoy the holidays before the big treament begins.
The next round of treatment will be a big one folks. The drugs are intense and there's no getting around the fact that the Dragonfly Gal will be sick, sick, sick, even with all the medical support. It'll be hard, but she can do it with a little help from the village.

I talked to our gal yesterday for a short time and she sounded pretty perky. Unfortunately, my family decided that since I was the one who insists on the 19 foot artificial tree each year that perhaps I should "stop yapping" on the phone as my lovely daughter said and start working. No respect. Thanks for all of the updates! It makes it easier for those of us far away to keep on the events.
Toni - love the picture!!!! What a cute grandbaby.
