Right now it is about 7:00 pm, Friday, March 18th and Denise had her last two stem cell infusions today. She was scheduled to have one of them through a spinal, but it was too much for her and she couldn’t stay still enough to allow Dr. Tony to do the injection safely so we decided to give both infusions to her through her IV. It was pretty traumatic for her and I felt terrible that I had put her through that. She calmed down maybe a half hour after we got back to our room and I got her walkman with her music set up for her so she could listen to it while her stem cells were going in through her IV. Tough day, but we both got through it okay and now we are relaxing and watching some Scooby Doo movies. She is doing much better this evening and playing with her toy, listening to her walkman and listening to the Scooby Doo movies. We had Japanese Fried Rice for dinner and munched on some popcorn just a little while ago. We have a couple of free days coming up on Saturday and Sunday so we may walk across the street and get our hair cut. I wonder if we will be able to tell them how we want it cut? Hmmm, we’ll see. So long for now. I will post some more pictures over the weekend. Ta Ta for now.

Wow, Denise! Sounds like yesterday was rough. I bet it was for Aunite Deb, too. But like the strong young lady that you are, you pulled right through and bounced back. Thank goodness for music!
Keep up your strength and enjoy some time exploring.

It was a pretty rough time for Denise, but you are right JoAnna, she is a very strong young lady and pulled through it all okay. This morning (Saturday) she is eating well, playing with her Chinese/English toy and listening to her music. We will venture out later and do some fun tings. Thanks for following our adventures and we look forward to seeing everyone when we get back home next week! Have a great day!

Hi Guys,
Glad to hear things are still going so well. AJ says to tell Denise to leave the bed bugs in China! He also says you are lucky that you can eat chinese food a lot – he loves it! haha. We are enjoying your blog and can’t wait to see more pictures!
Keep up the good work Denise!
AJ & company

Hi Kelly & AJ. Denise says she will have to bring these particular “bed bugs” home with us because they are the stem cells that are in her eyes doing whatever it is they are doing in there. Also, we have not really been eating the local Chinese food because it is not the same as it is back home. There are “extra” things in it that we are not sure about so we have not been brave enough to try it. Let’s be sure to get together sometime after we get home. Maybe during Spring Break? Talk to you guys later.
