From: “Smith, Dianne” Dianne.Smith@mpls.frb.org
Jenny has been through so much this past week. The chemotherapy and total body radiation have been administered and are working to destroy her stem cells. Jenny has managed to maintain a positive attitude, but she is starting to feel quite uncomfortable. We’re thankful that tomorrow is the end of these treatments. Jenny will receive the bone marrow transplant around midnight tomorrow. From what others have told us, (although no two people are the same) the next 6-7 weeks will be difficult; but Jenny should get better after that….and have a long life ahead of her.
If you’d like to send her a note of encouragement and support, her address is:
Fairrview University Medical Center
c/o Jenny Smith Unit 4A Room 205
Minneapolis, Mn 55455
Phone in her room: (612) 273-0222
Jenny is decorating one of the walls in her room with posters and colored pictures. If you have young children, have them color a picture and send it to Jenny–she’d love it!
Please keep us in your prayers, especially tomorrow–we need this transplant to be 100% successful.
