"Just the Facts"-- Up and moving around but felt nauseous most the day.
We have felt very fortunate during this year because B has had very little side effects from this condition. A few times randomly he has been nauseous. When this happens it's a bummer but it also reminds us that this could have been a lot worse, so we are counting our blessings. B finished the last of the dental work today, just in the nick of time. He was able to visit with the surf dogs at Rusty Surfboards and had a good time with the boys. He also stopped by his downtown firm and talked to the office gang.
Tomorrow B has a procedure to insert a catheter into his chest. The procedure is not something he is looking forward to and is a bit nervous about it. This is a delicate process and they have to be very careful during and after to get the right placement and then watch for any infection. He will keep this in for 6 to 8 months. The catheter will allow for ease in both medicine and blood infusion, so he won't have to use his veins. Having the catheter will slow him down a bit as his upper body will be restricted from movement. So here we go as this is the first step of this whole process. But in 2 days he will move into his new accommodations for a month and won't be able to leave it at all. So guess he's not going to do much movement anyway. This is the beginning, we are nervous, excited and ready for the BMT treatment to begin. We are being supported by your prayers and we love that!
Until next time,
Hopeful Believer
