4 Days Down & 4-2 GO
There is not much to post.....Inpatient is BORING. Daily activities include chemo every 6 hours. Tomorrow is the last day of Busulfan, Saturday the Cytoxin starts for 3 days. Too many other drugs to mention. Very minimal nausea so far. Counts are going down. Martha's activities include watching her I's & O's as opposed to watching her P's & Q's. Mouth care, riding a stationary bike, watching movies, talking on the phone, sleeping when possible, talking to nurses, doctors, fellows, nutritionists, physical therapists, statisticians, teachers, child life specialists. Lots of people in and out of her room all day & night (considering it's night) long.
P.S. Martha's line nurse is dating Kid Rock!
YES, it's really Kid-no she's really not.
Nurses = American Badasses
WE LOVE 'EM

Hi Martha! Keep up the good work! I showed the kiddos your website and now they tell me they want to "go to w w w dot martha dot com" so they can see you.
Hey you all. We love and miss you very much. The office is going to Mexicali for lunch today. I hope I get some dancing chips. Lots of love, Dad and Arletta
SHAY---please put the kids in packages and send them to me.
Hey Martha,
Kick your mom outta the room and make her go on a power walk, so we can argue some. My son is having foot surgery today and I feel useless. You all aren't supposed to grow up and become so independant and move hundreds of miles away.
What exactly is "mouth care?" lol My imagination is that you have six nurses doctors and orderlies around your chair, you, with your mouth wide open. The doctor yells, "I'm going in!" The nurse says "Wait, you forgot the tongue scrubber attachment." Then you, wild-eyed and crazed, decide to jump out of the chair and say, "$@#* this!", but the four orderlies throw you back into the chair and strap you down. Then from the other room, Michael appears and sings, "Here I come to save the day!! (remember the uplilt at the end of day) He whips out his water cannon and sprays everyone away. Your mother unstraps you and reminds you that, "None of this would have happened if you had remembered to brush and floss regularly."
Well back to the grind.
Hey Martha
Hope mouth care don't mean you have to gargle with that horrible chalky stuff they made me do when I did the chemo. That was worse then all the surgery they did. I am saying a prayer for you but I know that with Rick and the gang on your team, you can't lose. I met him in Las Vegas and have followed his web site ever since. I have breast cancer and have beat it's butt twice. Cancer really sucks. Give it a good butt whooping girl.
