| Mom and one of her fabulous nurses checking her IV drips. |
 |
| Cafeteria. The food here is really pretty amazing - NOT your average hospital food. |
 |
| It was Whitney's 24th birthday on Monday. Some of the stem cell unit nurses came in and sang "Happy Birthday" to her and gave her a HUGE, delicious slice of cake covered in whipped topping, raspberries, and blueberries - so nice! |
 |
| Mom's ward on the 4th floor. Everyone has to foam in, and then foam out. No germs allowed! |
 |
| Christmas tree in the lobby. |
 |
| Light trees in the atrium. |
 |
| Trees stuffed in every corner, everywhere. |
 |
| My favorite, little buddy in the fish tank downstairs. He literally follows you when you walk from side to side - neatest fish ever! |
 |
| Beautiful "flowers" from Patti Balderson. <3 |
 |
| Tiffany and Kelly Cass' oldest, Kohen, colored this for mom. He's so cute, and he did a really good job! |
 |
| Letters and cards from friends and family - mom has REALLY enjoyed hearing from people. |
 |
| Christmas tree right outside of mom's door in the stem cell unit. |
 |
| Christmas tree in the cafeteria - so pretty! |
 |
| Mom's room has the best view! The ducks, geese, and seagulls are always out and very busy - fun to watch! |
 |
| Mom got platelets, potassium, and IV fluids today. |
 |
| Yes, we do! |
 |
| Brianne and Travis Johnson's boys, Tyler and Isaac, sent mom some "angry birds" with some cards - mom LOVED these! The Johnson's go to Faith Christian Outreach Church in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa with mom, dad, and W. |
 |
| Mom sleeping with her CTCA bear. They gave her a "goodie" bag full of nice things: a bear; a fluffy, white robe; bath necessities, etc. |
Mom has really enjoyed reading mail from people. If you'd like to send her a letter or card, even if you don't know her, she'd really LOVE it! You can mail her here:
