Day 64
Everyone will be happy to know that round 4 is almost over and Ann is most likely going to be discharged from the hospital sometime tonight or tomorrow morning. Right now she is finishing her last bag of Cytarabine and has experienced only a fraction of the swelling and vision problems that she had the 1st time around.
At the insistence of the Nurses and me, Ann took a walk around the hospital floor today. Although the effort took a great deal out for her, she enjoyed getting to look around the rest of the wing. There isn't much to see except for the nice view we have of the adjoining hospital's helicopter pad across the street. Every now and then you see them either bring someone in or chopper them out. Whenever we see this Ann always comments that she hopes the tiny figure strapped to the gurney is ok, and hopes that they will make it. It's odd to hear someone so sick wish so hard for the welfare of someone she can't even see well enough to make their face out, but she does it anyway.
We still have not heard anything about the transplant and will keep everyone updated as soon as we do. Please say a prayer that a match unrelated donor falls out of the sky because we still haven't heard anything about the appeal for cord blood.
Ann wants to say some more later tonight when she gets out of the hospital and is feeling less tired.
Update
Sorry everyone... Ann wanted to make her own update to the blog today but, as she left the hospital her RBC and Hemoglobin numbers were low so she got very fatigued and was unable to. She promises that she will be on tomorrow and wants everyone to know that she loves you all and is thinking of you constantly.

Hey Ann! Glad to hear that round 4 is going ok. Just wanted to you to know that I have put the word out in Memphis, TN and Tamps, FL via my sisters for anyone who is mixed Asian race to consider being a donor. It might be a long shot, but worth a try. Love your video clips! It's so great to hear your voice and see your smile. Miss you a bunch. With love, Amy
Silly Chris and Ann.
Those people getting choppered in aren’t patients. Their secret agent men on a covert operations like James Bond and Jack Bauer. Duh. Trying to uncover the locations of the final bombs before there are detonated.
I love that show 24 by the way. It’s very intense and action-packed.
