1/7/09

[From original email]

Just a quick update since not a whole lot happened today for once...

KD got another dose of chemo which is making him a little nauseous from time to time now. He got his PICC line put in yesterday (a big semi-permanent IV line that goes through a vein in his arm and into his chest), so now he has the luxury of bathing whenever he wants. We took the plunge and cut off his hair today too since it was mostly in the way. He looks like an emo kid now (if you don't know what an emo kid is, you don't need to know :-) but I swear I will go at it again and give it some shape so this isn't permanent. 

Oh, and I cleaned one of his guitars and brought it to him so he's got something to do. He's the coolest guy int he ward right now. All the nurses think he looks like Lou Diamond Phillips already :-)

Thanks to all of you who stopped by or called already. He really appreciates the support and some connection to reality after being stuck in that room for days and days. If you want to call him to just say hi or whatever, his cell number is 352-871-6263.
