We learned this afternoon that Naomi will be admitted to St. Rose tomorrow (Friday) to do most of her preliminary tests to be cleared for transplant. We will initially be there on an outpatient basis but that could change if the procedures take too long. There are more than a few including CTs of her head, neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis; pulmonary function test; bone marrow test; and a few others. For some of this, she will need to be sedated which will slow the process, too. She will also be getting a red blood transfusion, I assume, unless her counts miraculously jumped since Tuesday.
We expect to be home late Friday or early Saturday morning.
I continue to be amazed at how smoothly planning has gone for everything and the blessings of ease bestowed upon us during this planning process. That is not to say it has been easy emotionally, but at least I feel the guidance of God regarding her situation.
