Hi All from a Portland Hotel!

Jess had all of her scans done yesterday. It was a long and hard day for her. First, she was really tired and not feeling well from the chemo from the day before. Then she wasn't able to eat or drink because she was getting the scans done; it makes really hard for her and I hate to see her like that. We didn't get back until about 6 pm last night and we had gotten there about 1020 am. They wanted to give her blood yesterday but they couldn't fit it in her schedule. So instead of having today off we had to go back so she could get two units of blood; as long as it makes her feel better it doesn't bother me. That is what we are here for.

She woke up this morning feeling sick and in some pain, we were concerned and she wanted to get there quickly. They said her blood pressure was a little low, but they thought it would go up with her receiving blood. I went down to the cafe and got her a sandwich and fries, while she was getting blood, I knew that she was feeling better enough to eat :) It did not take them long to give her blood, so we got back to the hotel about 3 pm. It is nice because now she is napping before dinner. We have to be back at the hospital at 1130 am for blood tests and then 1 pm for the test results. I can't help it, but I am so nervous!! Please, please, keep up the prayers and I will let you know what the doctor says.

Love to all,
Cindi
