Monday's update

Brian had another good nosebleed last night. I suspect the first order of business tomorrow is going to be a platelet transfusion.

Brian is scheduled to be at the hospital tomorrow am for 8:30, so we'll be leaving here around 5:30am. Scott isn't able to take time off, so it will just be Brian and I.

Wednesday Brian is scheduled for the hickman catheter placement then he will go to start cell collection following that.
They will continue the harvest procedure until they have have 2 million stem cells/kg of body weight. (let's see each Kg is 2.2 lbs..Brian weights...holy crap that's a lot of cells).
We hope it will be finished quickly as we will have to be near the hospital (day procedures) until it is. But it will take the time it will take. Hopefully we will be done and can head home at the end of the week.

I am packing up the things we will need and will pack the car later. There will only be time for caffeine before we hit the road tomorrow early am.

Steph will have pet duty.
wish I could say I was looking forward to this trip....
