Meghan is settled into her room at UMMC and as of 5 pm was still waiting for her chemo treatments to begin.  Before they can start they have to ensure she is hydrated to an acceptable level first.

Since February 6th, Meghan has had a rougher time dealing with the side affects of the chemo.  The worst right now is mouth sores which makes it hard for her to talk and eat.  The back pain has subsided for the most part, but she is having pains in other parts of her body.  Went to the hospital today for her blood count check as well as a pulmonary function test, EKG, and sonogram of her chest area.  Overall everying went well, just have to wait for the results.[...]
