I haven't kept up with this blog because things were just going along.  We finished chemo in October.  And waited for the call from Primary Children's.  We go the call on October 24th that we had appointments on Friday Oct 26. At first we thought we were going down for the full three and a half months but instead, Mia and I drove down and back on Friday for the appointment.  We got to spend a couple more days with everybody and left them again on Tuesday Oct 30th. Mia was admitted on Thursday and they started her chemo today.  Today is known as day -6.  They count to zero and that is her transplant day and our 100 day stay starts then.

Mia's favorite thing while int he hospital or at the clinic, an IPAD!!  Child Life has then for the kids in Boise, unfortunately not at Primary Childrens'

Mia after she had her PICC line removed and a new central line ( a power double lumen broviac ( I think that is right:)).  She was supposed to be leaving the hospital after that but her oxygen saturation levels were not coming back up so she was admitted 12 hours earlier than originally scheduled.
