So, I am here with my dad right now at MD Anderson. He was admitted last Sunday and began chemo on Monday.... so far so good!! He is in great spirits. Today is Good Friday and he has three more days of chemo... then on Tuesday he will get his transplant!!! Thus far (knock on wood and Thanks be to God) he has not gotten sick. He has called me about five or six times a day to tell me how he is doing and this morning at about 10:30 he was a little whacked out. But, he is okay now (and he is sitting next to me) that the chemicals have made their way through his system.
His room is HUGE and the nurses and staff are really taking great care of him. Tomorrow I think will be a bummer for him. Up until now he has had chemo (called Busulfan and Fludarabine) but tomorrow he will get this and ATG (the anti rejection drug for the transplant). I am so glad to be here with him. My mom went to Kerrville to unpack the boxes for their new place while he was here and being cared before. She will probably get back here tomorrow or Saturday. I know that she must be exhausted.
He has enjoyed playing with his new Ipod touch that my mom got him for his birthday (that is April 25th) and can get email, etc. on it. If you email him he will be able to read it on it. Right now he is listening to the Holy Rosary on it. Prayers from all of you have gotten him to this point and will get him through the transplant successfully. Thank-you very much to all of you!!!
God bless and Happy Easter!
He is risen! <3>
