Actually, we both are hanging in there. She's now receiving her last day"s pre transplant infusion. Then, as you know, the two rest days, followed by the "big day," which, as we understand is quite anticlimactic.....just like any chemo or transfusion day.

As I understand, anytime after the infusion, we need to be prepared. All in all, we're looking forward to it...and to it working and slowly getting back to a somewhat normal life,

She's doing well, tho she has a bunch of little nucense problems that keep cropping up. But basically under control. Well, sort of.

Me? I'm here. I'll make it. It's hard being a helper who can't fix things......

@ruttgerbay, I get that feeling of being a helper who can't fix things. I bet @raemark2010 @greta_k @valerie912 and @smokie do too. As @grandpabob says by just being there you're doing a lot.

What is it like being at the hospital during the virus crisis? Is it quieter than usual? Where can you as a caregiver hang out when you have to wait for extended periods of time?

It is a helpless feeling not being able to “fix” things that’s for sure. But you are doing more than you can imagine. Hope everything goes well for you both.
