Today at 11:00 am Stefan received his last dose of step one Chemo Busulfan. Nothing now for 24 hours. Saturday morning he will get an EKG to check out his heart. Then at 1:00pm he will get dose one of the two day Chemo. Only once a day on Saturday and then another EKG Sunday before dose 2 of the Cytoxan,(I did not spell it right last time, it is not oxytoxin). Then 24 hours nothing again and then the Transplant.
He is still doing laps around the nurses station , doing 15-20 laps after breakfast and then again after dinner. No adverse reactions, with the exception that it did make him sleepy for an hour or so and the speech was slurred also as if he had a drink or two. But of course you know he does not drink.(much). At least not in the hospital.
Today Suzia and Stevie visited him in the hospital, Stevie told the nurses here that he is 8 years old and he stuck to that story the whole time here.
I went home for a few hours and returned by bus to spend time here without having to worry about the parking fee for the van.
No snow yet as they predicted 5-8 ". We are looking out the window here and the sidewalks are still not white.
