Today the approval came from the insurance carrier for the stem cell transplant.  That’s a big victory because the process usually takes several weeks!!!!  The first injection to build up the bone marrow begins this evening.  This is the first of 4 daily injections. 

Irene continues to have blurred vision in both eyes.  She has 2 detached retinas from steroid treatment last week. The medical team hopes that as the steroids leave the body that the vision should self correct.  They will monitor her vision over the next several weeks.

Irene’s bed is waiting in Oncology…..

Irene’s spirits are strong .... She is ready for the road ahead .... Thank you for your support!!!!!!!!
