Day -1, a pretty good day!

So, as the title suggests, today was a good day for Andrya, as we had hoped it would be. And it's Ryan again by the way...I think Andrya just likes that she can get me to do this for her.  :)

 She was feeling good and in very high spirits; the headaches from yesterday's dose of cytoxin were gone, as were the sore throats.  She only just in the last 30-45 minutes started feeling a bit feverish, and by feverish I mean that she feels joint aches and she's cold though it's 74 degrees in here.  But I just took her temperature and she has no fever.  Mentally she seems good too.  She was back to being her ornery self again. 

 There were no chemo doses to get today either, she's all done with that and now we wait for it to take effect, destroy her bone marrow, and hope the transplant grafts. 

Julie McPike showed up today and visited a while.  Her mom Donna showed up today too.  Andrya loves the company, so thanks for coming by. 

Tomorrow is a big day.  She gets her bone marrow transplant.  Logan, her brother and donor, comes here to the hospital at 7am to give the donation and she'll receive it later in the evening.  Tomorrow is also our 9 year anniversary. 

So here's to hoping that tomorrow is as good a day as today was.
