Hello Team Snail!
The last week has been filled with a lot of waiting, paperwork, meetings and more tests. The short version and great news is that Vanessa will officially be Valerie's match! All T's are crossed and I's are dotted. Vanessa is such a perfect match that she too has not had a virus that 99.5% of the population has had. This means Valerie will not get it from Vanessa's cells right when her immune system is non-existent. And now we wait.
Valerie and Brent have a "normal" weekend planned with a date and everything (good job Doodle). Valerie is trying to feel as normal as possible before she checks into the hospital on the 17th again. The 18th is the day to remember our little snail more than ever and pray until after Thanksgiving and then pray some more. The 18th starts the irradiation, mega chemo and then finally transplant process. After the transplant Valerie will be in the hospital between 4 and 6 weeks. 2010 is sounding great to me!
My Aunt GayLynn is flying out to SD on the 15th to help the local team with the transition back to the hospital and the transplant itself. She has a lot of experience in hospitals and is such a helpful, calm, force to be reckoned with, I can't wait til she gets there.
Yeah Brent! The HUGE case that he and his firm has been working on for 3 years or so they won on Thursday! That means regular work days and not the crazy 16 hour days he has been working. Happier Doodle and Happier Snail!
Mom has been cooking away for the local Team Snail. I am sure they have all gained 10 pounds and I know I have lost 10 since she left! She has also been trying to cheer everyone up by decorating a little for Christmas.
