In the hospital

Finally, we made it to Baltimore on Friday night and we were treated to a nice fireworks display over at the harbor which we watched from the room view. So far things are going well. I have finished one day of treatment and am working on the next. I have been taking lots of naps and getting around some. Christian and my mom and dad have been up hear keeping me company. I just got back fro a walk on the treadmill (about 25min). Though I'm sleepy and having some N V and D and the chills, overall things aren't too bad.

Way to keep up that positive attitude! You really are an inspiration--going through a rough time but looking on the bright side, and even managing to exercise! Just think of how far you've come, you can make it, only a couple more days. Can't wait to see you again!
Love,
Kim
