Day -1

Still Matt writing:

So people have asked what a typical day looks like.  Jennie usually has a little more energy in the morning so we order a big breakfast.  She doesn’t have much of an appetite so I force her to eat a hardboiled egg and some bacon.  Then I eat whatever she doesn’t want so I feel like I am doing my part.  After breakfast she asks me to put on a show that she will like and then immediately falls asleep for about two hours.  The room isn’t large, but is nice.  The staff comes in a lot during the day to check on her, take her vitals, and give her different medicine.  The staff has been very attentive.  Dr Burt comes everyday.  He will answer questions for as long as you like, but if things are going well he doesn’t stay long.

Tomorrow is stem cell infusion day.  It will take about two hours.  A chaplain will come and bless the stem cells and Jennie will be put into a twilight state.  She should feel fine tomorrow, but they say that the next three days after that can be a little rough.  Keep up the prayers for her for success and a quick recovery.  They have told us that recovery will be about 6-12 months.

She likes seeing all of the three green heart pictures as well.  We have been deciding which one we like the best.  Will update more tomorrow.


One thought on “Day -1

  1. Dear Jennie and Matt, Thank you for the snapshot of your day together. Each day there are little miracles, but today you are about to experience one that we cannot even begin to imagine. Miracle Day! The courage and the strength you share is so very rare! The prayers continue for Jennie and you and all the family back in California, too! Hope the girls are all better and no flu and I know they are surrounded by lots of love from “Grandma” and your wonderful circle of friends! God Bless Jennie, Matt, Dr. Burt, the Chaplain and those stem cells! Love, The Morrises
