BREAKING NEWS

See this room right here?

Yeah, that's the place where the Sunshiny Superwarrior Goddess was a complete and total badass today. Because not only did she walk a mile and a half in the morning, AND THEN have an intensive SIX HOUR chemo treatment, but get this...

SHE SLEPT THROUGH THE WHOLE DAMN THING.

That's right. None of the horrific nausea or gastrointestinal ugliness we had been warned about. 

Wanna know why? Well, I'll tell you:

Okay, it didn't actually look like that. But the INTRAVENOUS BENADRYL they gave her to preemptively combat any potential allergies to the chemo zonked her out so hard, she was down for the entire count. The woman not only snored her way through the treatment-- but every single vitals check, blood draw, IV change-- and even the very noisy lady from housekeeping.

Then, when she finally awoke around 5, we ordered her dinner, she slowly but surely perked back up-- and that, ladies and gentlemen-- was that.

So now the countdown begins.

Tonight and tomorrow she begins to receive some anti-rejection drugs. On Monday, she rests. And on Tuesday, dear friends, family, and fans of Nancy Neufeld Callaway-- IT'S TIME FOR THE BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT.

But at this moment, I couldn't be more proud of how she's handling all this, nor more thankful for all of your love and support. 

Please keep it up. She's so amazing. And we're so damn close. 

WE LOVE NANCY, and... 

ALL IS WELL!
