This weekend involved stem cell collection as well as a visit from my cousins! Friday started early at 9am with Dr. Morganstein and a blood test, the count was still low and had to get a platelet transfusion. After that they said the counts were good and to go directly to Robert Wood Johnson for the stem cell collection. So Friday as unhappy as i was, in went the catheter for the stem cell collection!! Saturday morning early off Dad and I went back to RWJ for the stem cell collection! The machine was a little scary but by 1:30 I was done and on the way home to wait for the phone call to see if I was done with collection or if I had to go back for more, but good news I WAS DONE IN ONE DAY! I was done but that meant we had to go back on Sunday to take the catheter out, and another platelet transfusion. Another early morning with lots of waiting, and lots of me wishing I was at home with my cousins Sofi and Annie. In the end the catheter came out and I went home and to celebrate we went out to dinner at Eccola. The next day was doctors free, and full of cousin loving! My little cousin Sammy's class had act of kindness week and his whole third grade class made me a card and they are adorable! With the girls we went to Michaels and got some puzzles to do!!! We started the puzzle and became instantly obsessed that we were going to finish it. Turns out that we did, we even all woke up early to finish it!! As we finished Aunt Kathy said they had to leave, I didn't want them too but I understood. It was nice to see them the time I had!!
Visit again soon!
Love,
Sarah
