Jan 29

I had an appointment this morning at 9am to go back into the hospital and my doctor reiterated that I was in complete remission. She said she had sent a referral to the bone marrow transplant doctor and that he would be talking to us when I get out of the hospital. We went to the chemo clinic and she had me hooked up to a regular I.V. and said that as soon as a bed became empty on the chemo floor that I would be going up. Deb and Dana went back to the Antelope Valley to take care of some things and then came back down and brought me a double-double from IN & OUT at about 2:30pm. Just as I began eating it, they came with a wheel chair and took me up to the hospital, so here I am blogging again! LOL! This stay will be from 3 to 4 weeks. They will give me two doses of chemo, twelve hours apart tomorrow. They will repeat this on Wednesday, and then again on Friday. Then I will again wait until my blood counts go way down and then back up again, and I can't come home until the counts are pretty much normal. Dana was here from Denver over the weekend but is going back in the morning. She came alone this time and we had a great visit! Please pray that the side effects will again be minimal and that I will be able to go home soon. God bless you all!
IN HIS HANDS,
