Hanging in...

Hello all -

Just a quick note to say DD1 is hanging in and hanging on. It is a without a doubt a tough fight and she is completely and utterly exhausted, but so far she is following the plan and all is going to plan. Still you know it's hard when just brushing ones teeth requires several hours of sleep afterwards.

The tranplant was done yesterday (she is offically one day old!) and the 6 days of chemo preceding it have kicked ass hard. Now we wait and watch to see if her stellar batch of stem cells collected last fall can do their job. Keep your fingers and toes in the crossed position. And many, many thanks for all the good wishes!

Knit on (might be hard with crossed fingers so you may be exempt while knitting!)....

T-Day is March 18th...

We're ready. And most importantly, DD1 is ready too. Bone Marrow Transplant day (or T-Day as I am calling it) is on the calendar. March 18th. We've a wild ride ahead starting on the 12th, and over the next month or so, but we are about as prepared as we can be. Bring.It.On.

In post Olympic news, I did finish my own personal and simple challenge of knitting enough squares for a charity baby blanket from my stash during the games, and 20 squares in navy and blue grey are piled up next to my chair waiting to be assembled.A good project while I'm off of work for the next few weeks or so caring for DD1 during transplant and recovery

And.I am still managing to work entirely from stash and on already assigned projects, and so far no LYS deprevation symptoms have kicked in!

And isn't the weather just grand?! I smell the promise of spring.....

Knit on....

p.s. I'll be back in a few weeks to report in on DD1 progress, so keep us all in mind, would ya'?.  In the mean time she would be pleased to know I have done a public sevice announcement by directing you all to this site, and get to Know Your Nodes so you can all stay healthy too!
