After Brandy's 16 hour experience, and then my mom's two 12 hour chemo days, we started joking that we were the Marines - first ones in, last ones out. Today we were not the first to arrive as we have been many other days, but we are shaping up to possibly be the last to leave. Today we've been here for the daily bloodwork, plus anti-rejection IV drip, plus a shot of growth stimulating hormones to help the Brandy's stem cells do their thing. That all is about a 5-6 hour process...and we get to do this every day...yeah. Welcome to my mom's life for the next 30 days minimum....possibly more. The good thing is the further along we go the less time you have to spend at the hospital each day, so we can officially hand off our Marine's status :)
A better USMC saying that applies to you two is: "No better friend, no worse enemy". Y'all da bombettes!
