Day Zero

So, I'm at the hospital as we speak. Aunt Linda is down the hall she got her port put in this morning and is currently giving bone marrow and they are filtering out the stem cells. This process could take 4-6 hours and maybe even into tomorrow. There is an hour of testing to make sure they have enough then mom will start to recieve the stem cells via iv into her port. Everyone is doing well, Aunt Linda is a bit nauseated but this is natural and everyone should be just fine! =)

Visitors are welcome after this week...

No laytex or rubber balloons only mylar.
No real flowers.
No one under 12.
And absolutly no one who is or has been around anyone ill.

Thanks everyone!! Call the cell if you need any information on locations and stuff

Friday the 13th: Camp Crystal Lake

Imdb.com Synopsis ~

Young friends Whitney (Amanda Righetti), Mike (Nick Mennell), Richie (Ben Feldman), Amanda (America Olivio), and Wade (Jonathan Sadowski) end up missing in the woods near the abandoned Camp Crystal Lake (made famous by the original 1980 film), after allowing their curiosity to get the better of them and visiting the site where a psychopathic killer resides. Six weeks later, Trent (Travis Van Winkle) invites friends Jenna (Danielle Panabaker), Bree (Julianna Guill), Chewie (Aaron Yoo), Chelsea (Willa Ford), Lawrence (Arlen Escarpta), and Nolan (Ryan Hansen) to his father's cabin on Crystal Lake for a weekend of sex, booze, pot smoking, and water skiing. However their seemingly fun weekend soon escalates into a nightmare after lone traveler Clay (Jared Padalecki) shows up looking for his missing sister Whitney. The police have searched with no luck, and Clay is now searching alone. Local citizens have advised Clay not to go into those woods, because anyone who shows up missing is already dead, and he is wasting his time. During his search, one of the students, Jenna, decides to help Clay find his sister, and they go into the woods. They find the abandoned Camp Crystal Lake and search the dilapidated camp house for any signs of his sister. They soon find themselves face to hockey-mask with evil reborn, reimagined, and rebooted, and his name is Jason Vorhees (Derek Mears).

My Synopsis ~

5 kids go camping... 3 guys(A, B, & C) 2 girls (A & B)
1 guy A tells a story about the so called killer (Jason) who lost his mom (who looks like Girl A) and now kills everyone at Camp Crystal Lake
Guys B and C and Girls A and B laugh it off
Guy B and Girl A go off to "talk"
Guy A keeps his nerd talk up to Guy C while Girl B strips down and shoes boobs (a staple for a movie of this calibur)
Guy A leaves so Guy C and Girl B and have sex (doggy style no less... and more boobs)
Guy A finds weed (another must for this movie)
Jason kills Guy A
Guy C and Girl B are disrupted having honky honky so of course Guy C goes looking for Guy A who they think is outside messin' with them. Jason kills Girl B. Then Guy C who just found Guy A dead too.
Guy B dies in an abandoned house (that of Jason's) and Girl A runs back to find eveyone... She finds Guy C (not quite dead yet....) then Guy C finally gets killed for sure!
Girl A is taken.....
And that's just the begining sequence!
Enter super hot brother of Girl A searching for her being "missing" (He really was maybe the only reason to see the movie for us girls... guys for the boobies!)
It really just gets worse from there... more preditcable killings, boobs/sex, and stupidity!
The funniest part in the movie aside from the black guy searching for the asian guy with a wok ( I don't want to talk about it) was when the cocky blond idiot guy gets killed.
I was pretty done with the movie after the ONLY intelligent girl dies.
More stupidness....
Even more stupidness...
The End...
No plot... stupid reasons for death... sex in places sex would not be happening... and well just a terriable movie I'm glad was free, but I would have been better off going ot the gym like originially planned!

Blood Transfusion

Soooo here is what's going on:

Tuesday, February 3, 2009

9:45AM - We go to Zangmister (Cancer Center) to see the financial advisor guy to help mom out on her medical bills.

10:00AM - Finance guy Brian notices how ill mom is feeling today and gets nurse.

10:05AM - Mom gets vitals checked from nurses and such. EVERYTHING IS LOW... Blood pressure (which is usually super high) white cell count is dangerously low, red cell count is crazy low... hemogloben craziness is going on. Along with Iron and potassium

10:20AM - They take mom back to fill her up with fluids....

Time gets fuzzy at this point, but they were back there until 1pm.

1pm - I take mom on our way to St. Ann's hospital to get a blood transfusion.

They are waiting on us! We go right back... she get's an IV (which was already still in her which made it a bit easier... Mom has bad veins too!)

We wait now for more blood test.. and wait for 2 units of blood to show up.

5:30PM - blood transfusion starts... each unit takes about 3 hours.

6:00 pm - Mom Get's admitted to room 211 at St. Ann's hospital in Columbus.

Uncle John comes and takes over while I get much needed sleep.

9:00PM- I go back.

Pastor Harold and Ken visit!! =) We love them!

I stay unitl 11 then she sleeps..

Wendesday, February 4, 2009

My BFF Linda takes mommy food (hospital food sucks!)

Grandma stays with mom all day (so I can rest up to work the night shift!)

Aunt linda and uncle john visit ( so i hear =) )

Mom get's 2 more units of blood...

She should get to go home... I took her breakfast.. and we'll know more soon!

Thanks I'll keep you as updated as possible!


Just so everyone also knows, we were well aware this may happen. She had one in June of 2008 as well, so no worries this should actually help her with chemo. Just keep her in your prayers!

Love you all!

2 Alarm Fire

I think to myself, I hope this guy wasn't having financial issues and thought this was his way out.... Geesh! What are we coming to when this is the first thing I think too.
