The last stem cells
January 7th, 2008
It was a pretty quiet day today. Pat went out to buy suitcases, because after we shopped yesterday, we needed to replace the suitcases that we had thought we might be able to do without. OH and of course XXL clothes take up a lot of room ya know! thanks for all the LARGE comments, like we didn’t feel BIG enough already. I think we’ll have to cut the tags out right away 
The stem cells were on time and we were the first ones down to the 8th floor. Becky was in and out and we were back up to the room by about 4:15. It’s just after 6:00 now. Pat fed Becky pasta with olive tomato sauce and now we are having ice cream. It was so cute this morning, when the cleaning lady came in Pat was making toast for Becky. She pantomimed quite clearly that she thought Pat was so nice for making breakfast for Becky. This afternoon when we were at physio with Jennifer, our nice cleaning lady came in again and had Jennifer tell Becky “your husband is very well.” He has impressed them!
So Becky’s iv has run through, she is done with being poked for that. All these finals ‘last’ things. Becky just wants to be home. She was trying to convince us to see if we could change the flight home to tomorrow and just skip the last couple days here. She really misses home, and family, and dogs. We all do. Being away does make one appreciate home so much.
take care everyone. Going to keep Becky company while she stares at the ceiling.
love love, k

And the countdown begins!!!!!!!!!!!
Can’t wait until you get home. I am so proud of you Becky for sticking it out for the last few days. I am sure the minutes seem long, but you are almost there. Sounds like progress is happening, and will continue when you get home. What an awesome accomplishment.
Can’t wait to see all the pics. Praying for a safe journey home. Thanks Kim for all the updates. You really should consider journalism. You are really great.
Love Teresa
