Arrival in Durham

Thank you all for all of your emails the past day or so. It is great to know that we have all of your support and prayers!

Mom is now staying in Durham, at her hotel. We picked up Indra and they are settled in nicely. Mom had her pulmonary function tests done and all seems well with those. Will and I made it back home safely.

Tomorrow morning, Mom and Indra will go to Duke Hospital via taxi so that Mom can get her Hickman line placed. Everything I've read indicates that they most often do this by giving general anesthesia, but occasionally they use sedation. I am not sure which Mom will have but I will update the blog tomorrow after I know the line has been successfully placed. After placement, Mom will meet with her doctor at the bone marrow transplant center and then go back to the hotel room, where the home health nurse will get her started on an IV in preparation for Friday's high dose chemo treatment.

Off to bed.... :-)
