I just left the hospital ... they are making the final preparations to begin chemo later today. It may be mid-afternoon before the actual chemo is begun. That means if everything goes as anticipated, she would be in the hospital at least until late Friday afternoon, but more likely until sometime Saturday before noon.

When I left we did not yet have a specific room assignment, but were told it would be on the adolescent wing of the 6th floor of the University Hospital, where they do this kind of thing. Denise will be with her the rest of the day, and I'll return there sometime this evening and spend the night.

Regarding possible visitors, Denise's cell phone is 819-6702 and mine is 819-6701. Give us a chance to see how Amanda deals with everything, but you all know that Amanda absolutely LOVES and TREASURES her friendships, and so would like to see some familiar faces when practical.

God bless you all.
