The good news is the second of the four chemo treatments are behind us. Once again she took on the battle with great courage. So proud of her and the fight she is putting up each and every day. Unfortunately, she has had a terrible bought of nausea and we are back at the clinic for hydration and some precautionary bloodwork. We will be spending the night here tonight, but it is a brand new private hospital and she is in great hands. In fact, I cannot say enough good things about all the staff here caring for her.
She said to me as I was helping her into the hospital bed ‘Do you remember what Doctor said about patience who struggle with the chemo, they tend to be the ones who do the best with the treatment’. I asked her ‘Are you doing this on purpose’? No she said, it just gives me more energy to fight!
That’s it for tonight and again we truly do appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers.
Kim's HSCT Journey 
Dear Kim and Mike, my heart, thoughts and prayers are with you both daily. I think about you, Kim, often… you are a tremendous person and one I hold dear in my heart. I am not good putting my emotions in writing, I wish I was better at communicating … please know that when I teach, I think of you, when I volunteer, I think of you, when I mentor, I think of you, when I give, I think of you and it fills my heart… you probably do not realize that you have had this impact in my life, but you have impacted hundreds if not thousands of others. Kim you are one special woman. I will continue to pray for you and Mike, as you both go through this treatment.
I love you both very much. I know that every breath we take is a miracle.
Big Hugs missy,
Christina
