MENTOS VS COKE 1

So the last time in Fresno, we decided it would be a great idea to stock up on some essentials in the candy isle, the rest is history.

And The Friends Came Down

Hello Samantha, Tom and Tessa. This was a great day. We watched movies and then Tom introduced a genius invention.

And add in a little Zoey, Kathy and Sarah, the perfect combo.

Let me introduce, my little friend, the air inator. 1 can of pressurized air, a quiver, and arrows? Just aim and pull down the trigger, instant person to person missile!!!!

And here is my little Christmas tree. Isn't she cute?

Here is a video of the festivities.

Then There Was Transfusion # 2

So on my second transfusion of platelets this week there was a bit of an allergic reaction. I began coughing and wheezing due to my chest and throat becoming tight and congested. To combat this I was given 4 times my normal dose of Benedryl and a heavy dose of Hydro Cortozone. After receiving all of this, you can see the side affects. Here I am trying to explain that I just received 4 times the amount... notice the number of fingers represented.

Then it was of course time for a little Albuteral induced video action.

And later when I was about to pass out, this shot was taken... a bit sketchy if you ask me....

So thanks again to my team for helping me not die, and look great doing it.

Transfusion 1

So lots of "goings on" this week. To begin with I had some transfusions. While I have had many these were especially important, with my counts being as low as they were.

This is Darcy and Elizabeth a couple of my nurses. Notice the smiling faces, this is in part due to the fact that they had just injected me with benedryl which makes me well a little loopy.

Notice that the platelets are the color of mango puree. You can really find no taste similarities between the two however. I have tried multiple times, really no comparison.
