Thanks!! Today is a much better day. I am very hopeful that I get to go home tonight after my infusion. Doc mentioned that he might want to do 5 days..but he said that studies have shown that 3 days is as good as 5 days. I am planning on another round every 2 weeks after that. I can do this...I am going to put my big girl panties on....and find my healthy balance between work and rest!

Thanks for being here!

When I started looking up all the side effects of the meds I'm on, it sort of freaked me out too, but even my DS's anti-rejection meds are harmful to him, at the same time as they are helping to keep his kidney from rejecting. It's just what we have to do to function.

Hope you can get some rest tonight and that tomorrow is a better day for you. Try not to worry.

Sending hugs and prayers to you.
