Day "-5"


Well...today was a big day! After seven and a half hours of transfusions this morning at Huntsman, we drove over to UofU Hospital for a Line Placement. The Central Line was heaven sent! NO MORE POKING! Everything goes in through the ports on the central line...chemo, meds, fluids, and the transplant itself. Around 7pm he started his first round of chemo, which went rather well. They say the worst side effects wont come for a couple days! Jeff went through a lot today, but he managed to keep really upbeat! So far we have had amazing nurses and we have had some great visits from doctors and hospital administor assistants. Joel...please don't feel guilty that you are sitting on a beach in Hawaii and driving down the coast in your convertible. Jeff is comfortable in his deluxe twin bed in the UofU BMT unit! We'll see you on Monday...after your relaxing vacation!

Lookin' good Jeff! I am so happy to see that you have your BYU beanie hat on. I wonder if that is ticking any nurses off at the U of U? :)
