City of Hope Day #1

Well, i am here. yay. i got checked in at about 330 on tues and was started on hydration right away. my mom and i hung out, watched tv and a movie and went to sleep really early. it was a rough night of sleep, our room doesnt exactly get dark, the nurses came in every 2 hours to check my vitals and since i had a low grade fever, they had to draw lots of blood cultures. so needless to say, it wasnt a very restful night. i woke up this morning and felt good though, strong, ready to get some chemo in me! dr forman came in early this morning and checked up on me. he is so awesome. so...i got tons of pre-meds which are medications that they give me before chemo to prevent/reduce any side effecets i might have. i had 2 blood transfusions before i got chemo. around 12 i got my chemo, it was only a 15 minute drip! how crazy! then i just got back from a ct scan and i am off the hook for the day! tomorrow i will get my stem cells back and start physical therapy! how exciting!

i miss everyone already and i hope you all have a greatest xmas!! feel free to email/facebook... *(jennanewburn@gmail.com)
