Joy got the full works at the hospital yesterday in preperation for all of the treatments she'll need before the transplant surgery. She had cardiograms, pulmonary tests, ct scans, and yes, she can even tell you her lung size because they were measured too! She also got to see the radiation machine which looked vaguely familiar as a cross between a pilates machine and an exercise bike.
She wrapped up the day with a visit to the dentist to get her teeth cleaned because she won't be able to do this again for at least a year.
After this full day of treatments, she and Ken are looking forward to a relaxing Christmas with the kids (if only they could convince them to sleep in on Christmas morning!--suggestions anyone?).
