Hi all... again with the mass email! I know .. but too tired to type more than once...
We spent ten hours in the ER at Shands (at UF) getting KD admitted today. Lot's of nice people helped, but there was still a lot of red tape and paperwork to deal with (and of course they wanted many many samples of whatever bodily fluids they could get from him).
We won't seen the actual doctors until tomorrow (Monday) so there's no specific news. He's in the bone marrow ward, which is appropriately heavy metal for him :-) From rough guesses so far, he will be there for from two to five weeks while he gets chemo. Because of the special ward, and because his immune system will be at 0% as chemo goes on, there are limits to guests (no more than 2 because of the air purifying system; no guests who are sick or exposed to illnesses), and lists of things he cannot eat or be exposed to.
For now he does have his cell phone, so you can call him. Or you will be able to call him through the hospital once we find out the land-line number. He is in room 4210. He is very tired of course so although he would appreciate calls and visits, please keep it to the minimum, and keep it cheerful :-)
Let me know if you have any questions, suggestions, or commands :-)
