Today has been a marathon of tests in preparation for the bone marrow transplant. It actually started yesterday morning when Chris had to collect her pee for 24 hours and store it in the fridge. NO that is not apple juice!
We started at 8:45 at the LDS Hospital 1st floor with full body x-rays.
We then worked our way up to the 6th floor for pulmonary tests. Chris got her workout breathing in and out of a big tube that was hooked to a machine that graphed all her in and outgoing air.
Next it was up to the 7th floor to have a look at her heart. This first started with an ultrasound and then they hooked her up to an EKG. Hey!, I thought these hospital gowns were supposed be open in the back.
Last of all it was up to the 8th floor for blood work and a bone marrow biopsy from her hip. They gave her something to knock her out so she wouldn't feel too much.
We will come back on the 16th of January to find out all of the results.
