GEEZ! YOU’D THINK I’D LEARN!!

ShareFirst, I want to thank Leila Morgan for sending a very cool cd called IMMUNITY that Tom Kenyon does by channeling 32 spirit healers. One song is for what??? BONE MARROW! That’s right! Worth a doggie dance and a hula! There’s also one for the thymus gland. I’m listening to it for the first time now. Very powerful. SO between this cd and the Dahli Lama chant cd we are hooked up! All we need is the welcome home signs and streamers and we have one heck of a powerful stem cell welcome home party! Feeling a dance coming on! … Continue reading

SUCCESFUL SATURDAY!!

ShareToday was another fabtabulous day!! The nurse pratitioner, Trish, is thrilled with his #’s! She said he is her star patient! Even tho his ANC #’s are really low (10), it’s normal, his other #’s are looking great. I guess they are pleased with the way his body has handled the chemo this go around. It’s funny because his legs are still hairy. He lost a little hair. The hair on his head is actually growing instead of falling out. Still has eye lashes and brows. I guess it was his “nether region” that was hit a bit hence the … Continue reading

ShareThank you everyone for holding this healing space for Andrew!! It’s really workin! The wound doc was in today and she was nicely surprised how fast and well his foot is healing! I mean, it didn’t even gross me out! I even thought it looked good and that’s saying a lot! SHe said it must be the antibiotics. Yea, that’s what it must be! SO today we were back to a glorious day! ANdrew was feeling great! My mother in her weiner dog get up kept his spirits up! Can’t wait to see that picture! Actually it was my mother … Continue reading

HEALING THE HEEL

ShareThe good news is that ALL of ANdrew’s tests were neg on his foot!! The down side we could get a room mate now. He still needs healing energy to his foot. That could hold up the transplant and we don’t want to be here any longer than necessary! SO why were the x-rays inclusive?? Who the heck knows! He had a slightly rougher day today. His counts were so low that he wasn’t feeling that well. He had a headache and a bit nauseus today. Then he had a fever a few hours after they gave him platelets so they … Continue reading

HIS LEFT FOOT *giggle*

ShareToday was a wonderful Wednesday even tho we have some left foot concerns. As you know the wound doc was in yesterday and cleaned up his heal. What I didn’t tell you is how my sister just loves that kinda stuff. She woulda loved being here for that! Give her an infected in grown toe nail with puss and all and she’s in heaven! See? There is everyone for every job! :-)  She had been jonesing to cut away at Andrew’s heal for awhile. I think that’s why she loved massaging his feet…she was coveting that heal! lol lol  I was like “ummmm they had a … Continue reading

They r quite obsessed with it if u ask me! SO Andrew has 2 hats waitng for his nurse Sean in the bathroom. Sean comes in and sez “Dude! That’s it??” Andrew quickly replies, “Hey! It’s not the … Continue reading

ABOUT BONE MARROW AND STEM CELL DONATIONS

ShareBecause so many generous people have offered, I wanted to clarify how this whole process works. I’m not sure if this is just this hospital’s procedure or if it’s national. But this hospital doesn’t test people who want to doante specifically for Andrew. They use a donor registry now. The process in which the blood is tested and prepared is quite extensive. So even if they did do it there wouldn’t be enough anytime for Andrew to use it. BUT that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t donate!!! Please still donate and see if you can donate in Andrew’s name. It would … Continue reading

TESTOSTERONE AND BEYOND!

Share You learn something new just about every day here right? I’m here to serve, people! :-D  Here’s something you coulda gone to ur grave not knowing Martin had 2 of his friends here today. It was a guy fest as I was sleeping. Martin said they sucked all the female energy out of there with their manliness! I said they sucked the feminine energy in (that don’t sound right!! I c no gutter! ) to make them selves more powerful! I asked Martin if they did any chanting? No. Jeremy studies Kabbalah magick and we usually chant when he’s here. … Continue reading

ANDREW IS AMAZING!!

ShareThank you all for “listening” I really appreciate it. I wish I could pretend none of this gets to me but it does sometimes. After nearly 8 weeks of this and knowing there’s at least another 8 weeks more in hospital, it gets emotionally draining. I miss my bed, I miss my house, I miss my weiner dog, I miss my life!!  Even when we get home it’s not over. So yea, it does get hard sometimes. BUT I bounce back pretty quick so that’s good right I do know that I have to stay focused on health and on feeling grateful … Continue reading

WARNING! NOT FOR THE FAINT AT HEART. HAVING A MOMENT

ShareYup! If you only want the pretty side of this journey then don’t read this post. It ain’t purdy! I’m scared again today because I went and read the adult version of info on stem cell and bone marrow transplant. Really shouldn’t have done that. Should’ve stuck to the kids version of it with the cute lil pics of stems and bone marrow loving on each other. As I was reading what will and can happen the tears just started rolling down my face. This is just so freakin scary!!!!! Andrew will probably be infertile after this. They say a … Continue reading
