Today has been another crazy day, but it was also Denise’s first “stem cell” day! Woo Hoo! We started off the day with electric wave therapy, then acupuncture (which Denise really doesn’t like), then physical therapy, then the nurses came in to put the needle in her hand to prepare her for the IV and then from 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm we went up to the 9th floor to the IV room and Denise got her first stem cell infusion. She handled everything very well and now we are hanging in our room just enjoying our quiet time. She has her next round of stem cells on Friday and they might try to give them to her through a spinal injection, but if they feel that there is any chance that it will be dangerous to Denise we will switch back to the IV. I guess that’s it for now, but I will report more after her next round of stem cells. Take care everyone and have a great day!

Hi Denise and Deb. We are thinking of you everyday. Hang in there with the acupunture.! You are both so brave!
We noticed you are wearing light clothing, is the weather nice there? Also, what is the time difference? Are you ahead or behind us?
Love,
Your class

Hi Shoefly and Seester Buns,
We have been checking the blog daily to keep up with you two. It looks like you are going non-stop. Uncle ZZZZ says to tell Denise to keep up the good fight and he doesn’t like needles either. Cousin Jude & Dane say they love you. I am anxious each day to get the updates so keep them coming.
We love you both very much!

Hi Peeps. We just figured out how to reply on here and wanted to let you know that we are doing fine here. Denise is so brave and the doctors, nurses and therapists here are genuinely kind and caring. We hope everyone is doing well back home. Take care and be sure to continue to check out the blog. Love you all – Deb & Denise – world travelers!
