We arrive at about 8:00 and brought into the little room where we were last time, however this time there's a whole new set of nurses.  I'm really nervous this time and I was asking if the doctor was going to come up and talk to me before we started like last time.  They called her and we were waiting forever and finally Karen came up.  She said to me if you don't want to do it we don't have to do it.  I told her I was just real scared but I wanted to do it.  Finally we got started at about 11:45 they gave me Benedryl this time thru the IV they also decided to give me Adavan, not sure on spelling, so that I would relax.  AND did I ever I was falling asleep before they even finished the injection.  They had explained that they would take my vitals every half hour and I had the pulse ox thing on my finger the whole time.  They decided to run the drip really slow as well!  SO I was off in never never land and the Rituxin was getting in!!!  Mom said at one point my pulse ox got down to 79 but otherwise she said I  seemed to OK.  I woke up somewhere around 3 and was still real groggy!  But I was happy that my body seemed to be letting me take the Rituxin.  I got my laptop out and let all of you know that I was fine and that my body was letting me take the medicine.  We didn't get out of there until 7:00 that night and we were told to come back at 7am to get the rest of the first dose.  So we were off on our way home after a successful round of Rituxin.  I was worried that I was going to have side effects but I didn't.  I went home and went back to sleep no problems at all!!  The next morning we went back again a whole new set of nurses but we got started right away no Adavan this time so I didn't go to sleep right away.  I slept for a bit but then I was up watching soaps!!  They finished up and we were out of there by 4!!  SO we completed Round 1 of Rituxin successfully now it was time to wait and see if the count would go up!!!!!
