MY SWEETY
Hey everyone, I got home around 8 last night... I was really sore. I didn't think that I would be this sore but Ill probably be better in another day or 2. My grandma is really sweet and came down here to take care of me:) When I woke up from anesthesia I was really groggy, I had to have oxygen because my oxygen level kept going down, I started to cry, and told the doctors that I was on a cell phone call with my sister ha ha I was mad when they woke me up! The dream was so comfortable and me and Sarah were back to normal:) after that, I cried some more... I guess the anesthesia makes me really emotional ha ha. During my surgery Sarah's lower back started to hurt and she had a hard time breathing, my mom didn't think about it at the time but when she saw me it hit her that we might have been having a little twin time while I was under anesthesia ha ha ha... me talking to sarah on the cell, Sarah's lower back hurting, problems breathing... I donoooo;)... could be possible... we did have the same dreams when we were little;)
Sarah is doing a lot better today, she was actually sleeping this morning!!! Last night she was in pain because there was so much liquid in her stomach. We kept telling them to give her lasix... that is what makes her urinate so that she is not in so much pain from all of the fluids they have been filling her up with. Also once my surgery was done they bagged my bone marrow and sent is up to sarah, they said that they got some great marrow and that it was very successful!!!;) They finished infusing the marrow around 7pm So now we are just trying to get through these next few weeks, they are finished giving her chemo but some of the effects will start in 7-14 days... such as mouth sores, loosing her hair, and getting ill. When she was sick these last few days it was most likely the ATG aka the horse antibodies that were killing off her white blood cells. She will still have to be isolated in the hospital for about another 4-6 weeks from any human contact other than the nurses and immediate family because the chemo and ATG has killed off her immune system so that she can have a fresh start in accepting my bone marrow.

Chels, how does it feel to save a life? You kick ass!!! Glad to hear everything went well and I am sure you will both be feeling good soon.
Ben was telling his friends mom about you both and she put you and Sar on the prayer list at her church. COOL.
All our love,

I can't even imagine the pain and suffering the whole family is going through, but the key here is family. Without each other it would be much much harder. Your grandmother Glenna is such a great example of "enduring to the end" and it looks like all of you have that same endurance. Keep up the good work, ALL OF YOU because this too soon will pass and you will all still be a family and still have each other, but you will be much much stronger and closer because of it. With all my love and prayers. BJ Wright
