Con and Maddie, the day before. Getting some essential "cuddle time".
|
 |
Here's a pic of some of the cool stuff in our room. You'll see a cross that our sweet nurse Wendy gave us. Maddie made us a
"No Cancer" fish?!!! Don't ask....and finally, you'll see a beautiful, indiginous hand-made pink angel. It watches over our room and is dear to our heart. Made by Sue Brawner if anyone wants one!!!
|
 |
Here's our Maddie girl's Art Gallery. Every time she comes down...she does some cool picture for Mom. We have them all over the room. |
 |
Here is our beautiful daughters pic...Kellie!
Next to her is a hand made tile that Carla got for us! The "24/7" part is from Bob...he always reminds us that if we need something...He's available 24/7. |
 |
Here is our "Motivation Board". I put this up and cross off each day we are in the hospital. I also put up little cartoons about activities Connie will do...here you'll see her Mountain Biking! ha... |
 |
More Maddie artwork!!!
Tori is her cat...and Tahoe of course, is our dog! We miss them both. |
 |
Here's the sign nurse Kim gave us when Connie's counts rose to 0.4. A good day!
The Harley Card (upper right) has a Dog and a Cat riding on it. Maddie loved it so I put it up!!!
ha... |
 |
The BMT Unit. This was the first set of double doors we walked thru. E-5 was thru another set of glass doors end of the hall to the right.

Transplant Day - Con dressed in the appropriate red to receive her cells. |
| |
|
 |
Krista and Maddie on Dad's "torture chamber" , I mean rollaway bed!
|
 |
Maddie's been doing "artwork" for Mommy while in the hospital. Brings a smile to the room!
|
 |
Best Buds, Bob and Carla are commited to see us thru this! What a great looking couple! |
 |
An INCREDIBLE gift! Life in an Igloo. 5/5/06. Transplant Day! Amazing! |
 |
This is our new friend Bill who delivered the cells to our room. Debbie Smith watches expectantly. Bill is the Director of the transplant operation. |
 |
Our awesome nurse Patty took care of Connie during transplant. |
 |
Every once in a while...I get into the picture. |
 |
Connie touches her precious gift of "LIFE".
It was a huge bag of
marrow. |
 |
Sweet nurse Patty hooks up the bag. |
 |
Bag is hung at 4:20 p.m. |
 |
Hard to believe that this bag holds so much HOPE but, it does. God Bless our sweet donor! |
 |
If you look closely, I caught the marrow flowing down the tube. Look right in the middle of the pump area! How cool is that? |
 |
Dr. Babb, our Pastor buddy was on hand to bless the event and invite God to do a miracle here! |
 |
Randy and Debbie lifted their voices to our Lord as well! Randy read scripture and we all held each other. |
 |
Bob, once again, hit his knees for our gal. His prayer is, "Jesus...Heal this woman!"
|
 |
Craig, Jason, Bob, Randy and Mindi all joined us in prayer. |
 |
Jesus washed the disciples feet...in our case...friends give Connie a much appreciated lotion massage. It comforts her soul. |
 |
Not to be outdone...Joe gives Connie a hand rub too! He loves our gal! |
 |
Randy and Deb have been our constant support group. They come down or call every day. Who's that lurking in the back? |
 |
Deb and Mindi waiting for our precious gift to arrive. |
 |
"Uh Oh!"....what's he doing? |
 |
YEP...He did it! Our buddy Tina did the deed. Connie watched and laughed and tried to talk me out of it.
She too...this day...got her head shaved. I just couldn't put it on the site. She wouldn't let me...ha.
Can you say "Hey Moe!" |
 |
This was the day before we cut it all off. She held on to her hair for an amazingly long time. After some 40 bags of chemo...it was still there!
|
 |
We want to see another one of these signs soon! |
