Day One of the next chemo round

Mina Brigitta did just fine today. She woke up and wanted to read a book, then we had a nice breakfast and she pushed her stroller up and down the corridor. Then we went to the playroom at about 10:30, and Keri's cousin Shannon came and spent the rest of the day here. She was surprisingly energetic; she didn't have a nap all day today, yet was up and in a reasonable mood until almost 9:00. It's nice that this place doesn't seem to hold such awful memories for her.

It's all real vague, but Dr. Loh and Dr. Cowan, the BMT director, think the donor already responded. They're still finishing the detailed typing, but in the meantime are negotiating for an early transplant date. With how aggressively her disease is growing, they won't want to take any more chances with a delay. Dr. Cowan also mentioned that they may have found another possible donor. He would be happy to have a backup in case the first guy falls through.
