We got up at 6:30 am today and headed to the hospital for the CT, MRI, and bone marrow sample. The had to put an IV in Emily's arm for the contrast for the CT scan. We weren't to happy about that because she hasn't had to do that the last 2 times and we were assured that they could just use her lines. After that we finished up the scans and went to the clinic to see if we could get in early for the biopsy since it was 9am and we didn't have the biopsy until 11:30.
They said that they were pretty full and it would be best if we could just come back a couple hours later. We got halfway to the car when they called and said that the people before us canceled. So we went up and sat in a room for 2 hours until our regular appointment lol.
Emily was pretty distraught over getting a biopsy today. The two hours of waiting was just mentally tough. The procedure went great and the only part that hurt was just the numbing needle but, by that time, she was so stressed and anxious that she was shaking.
It took her a while to calm down once the biopsy was finished. We left the hospital around 1 ish and have spent the rest of the day just hanging out with Jack and my mom. We got an ice cream cake from dairy queen too so that was a plus.
Friday we are going to Boise for my birthday and to get away from Utah. We are going to keep it pretty low key since Emily is still recovering from the biopsy and getting her immune system back.
I'm glad your rough day is over. That Jack is aDORable! I'm glad you guys will get a change of scenery for a bit. I hope it is relaxing and reenergizing.
