Well, one week has gone by for Dad in the hospital. As Mom said it has gone quickly for her but not so for Dad. The reaction to the chemo has subsided a bit and Mom said Dad had better color and was more alert today.
Uncle Ron was at the hospital today for some blood work etc. and will go in around 10 tomorrow morning. Dad should start receiving the bone marrow in the afternoon. It will take approximately 2-3 weeks to see if it has a positive affect on him. As always, more waiting! As you can imagine waiting is very difficult for all of us.
Dad is not able to have flowers in his room but if you wish to send a card the mailing address for the hospital is:
Room 410
Vancouver General Hospital
Leukemia-BMT Unit
855 West 12th Ave.
Vancouver, B.C.
V5Z 1M9
P.S.: It's his 55th birthday on Thursday!
