Loaded several suitcases into the car that were filled with necessities for the next several weeks to make her room feel more like home.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Admitted and checked in to her room by 10am.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Met with her nurses and participated in the doctors rounds for the first time. Lots of admin paperwork and verifying information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Today\u2019s 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\u2019s not possible, we edited it)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
