Last bag of Chemo.

Today was big day for Donnie, he made a long trek across the hallway to a new room! Very exciting day ;) In all seriousness, they've been talking about putting him in a different room since we got here, so we were glad that they finally had one available. The new room is bigger and has a larger bathroom and shower. It also has a much better view, I figure if we don't go outside we mine as well enjoy it from inside. And... he had his very last bag of Chemo this morning. Hopefully, the very last for the rest of his life. It's kinda weird to say, last chemo bag. I never even thought about it until he said "that was my last bag of chemo". It was just crazy to think that all this bull is almost over and he is one step closer to being done. He still has a long journey but that moment was a good feeling. Donnie hasn't been feeling very well the last few days. He had a really rough time on his chemo on Sunday. Every time he would move or sit up or stand to pee, his heart rate would go up and his blood pressure would go down. He would start to feel weak and nauseous and he would start to vomit. He had a good 24 hours of that. Yesterday he started to feel a tad better but his blood pressure was still low and continues to stay low. They just keep monitoring him and keeping him on his 24 hour heart monitor. He really isn't allowed to walk around or stand up, only to pee but other than that he has to lay back down. He's hanging in though. He gets his actual Stem Cell Transplant tommorrow at 10. They said its no big deal but we'll see how it goes!
