Day 1: Admitted and Chemo begins

Well, here we are… day 1. Events of this very emotional day:

  • Loaded several suitcases into the car that were filled with necessities for the next several weeks to make her room feel more like home.
  • Said goodbye to Hannah and the dogs. Hannah will be able to visit often, but was still an emotional day for her.
  • Admitted and checked in to her room by 10am.
  • Met with her nurses and participated in the doctors rounds for the first time. Lots of admin paperwork and verifying information.
  • Began first round of rATG (chemotherapy) at 5:20pm. The first round will take 6 hours. If all goes well they can speed up tomorrows dose.
  • Today’s prayer: Araeya really wanted Starbucks. She also prayed for a speedy recovery so she can get home soon (she really said she just wanted to leave but since that’s not possible, we edited it)
