9/8, 12pm update

I'm at Daniella's house now, and she's gotten her things. We're leaving in 5 minutes.

She did tell me that the results from the first biopsy Tuesday did confirm that it is Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Stefan will be starting chemotherapy today.

The staff has advised Daniella to limit Stefan's visitors, including his children. Daniella can and will be there with him at all times. But as he undergoes chemo, the number, frequency and duration of visits will be very limited. Daniella is asking for those who wish to visit Stefan to call first. I am finding out who you are supposed to call - her, him, the hospital, me, or someone else. I will let you know. It will probably be a good idea to know who is going to see him and when, so if he can't accept anymore visitors at that time or that day, you won't have made a trip downtown and not gotten to see Stefan. I will find out what procedures will be set up for visitors and let you know. Until, if everyone can sit tight, that would be greatly appreciated.

That's all for now. More later this afternoon. --SMK
