Brian's home

Yep, my best boy is home. It's always nice to get him home even just after two days.

We had a few small issues today with the chemo. He retained 5 lbs of water and needed a diuretic, his blood pressure did start to drop during the etopicide IV and his potassium is low and he needs a few days of suppliments.

Some of these we've had before, and some are new...and potentially concerning since he will get a massive dose of etopicide as part of the transplant protocol.
He's got a ton of medications to take this week and he will start the neupogen injections tomorrow..three times a day. These are going to cause him some serious discomfort by next week...bone pain, jaw pain all over pain because of the body's bone marrow producing so many cells.

time for some much needed sleep, will try and write more tomorrow
