As mentioned, Becky had first treatment of stronger chemo, and double dose at that, since Monday's 'input' was cancelled. She sounded good tonight.. considering this more intense regimen...which, is designed to deliver a few more 'knock outs' to Becky's current immune system. Again, readying her for Friday, when the 'fresh' stem cells, as the schedule posted in her room states, are infused...In elementary terms, we want these 'fresh' stem cells to go into her marrow and make a nice home..

Becky has focus and resolve.. she may not see it, but she really does have a 'can-do-it' attitude..even amidst the fog and uncertainity of this process/journey...Did I say, I love her? I DO!

We think about and pray for the donor, who elevating or building her red blood cell count so she output the proper measure of stem cells..She will inject herself with a specific drug, neupogen (sp?)..to build this red blood count..We have surmised, she is overseas, possible Europe, but all we really know is, she's not in the US....The stem cells will be flown over..Amazing, truly amazing AND amazing that this person was found..and has given of herself..this sacrifice..this 'life giving' measure...May God grant her an uneventful procedure..which I understand should not bring any harm to her at all...

More to come..can't say it enough, thank you all for your heartfelt support and prayers..

** Abbey had a slightly more improved 'coping day'...I call it. Her hop-a-long had a little more hop..
