Mountain Views

As a result of her hemoglobin transfusion yesterday and her constant platelet transfusions today, Joy is feeling better today than yesterday.

Clad in rubber gloves and a face mask and with an IV in tow, she got to take a stroll around the floor of the hospital. Although she was excited about this, she was even MORE excited when Ken brought the two twins to see her.

To make the day even better, she was moved to a different room. Now, she gets to gaze at the mountains (a significant improvement from the brick wall she got to look at before). Hooray for LDS hospital!

She started Chemotherapy yesterday and will continue with it for 5 more days. Even though she feels okay now, because the treatment destroys all of her white blood cells, she'll feel progressively worse over the course of the week.

That's all for now. We love you JOY!
