Dad is settled in to his room at Barnes. He started chemo on Saturday and they finished it up on Sunday. Monday was a day of rest prior to the transfusion or re-entry of the stems cells they collected during pheresis.
Jason has been here since Monday and we have spent a lot of time with Dad. Jason left around 4:30 PM today making the long drive home. I know Dad has enjoyed Jason's company.
They performed the transfusion at 1 PM today and the entire process took about an hour maybe a little less.
What's to come....
The medical staff said the Dad may become very lethargic by Sunday / Monday time frame and will probably be that way for a few days. His immune system will be low and very susceptible to illness and infections during that time. They said he will more than likely not even want any visitors since he will be feeling so crappy. They also mentioned this is not always the case but to be prepared for the possibility.
That is all I have for now, will enter more later.......
