Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone, and Happy Birthday Doug! Today was the second and final high dose chemo, and they didn't even color it green. Today's infusion was uneventful and that's fine with us.
The nurse took an extra blood draw for type and crossmatch. Doug now will wear the special wrist band until his counts come back up. The band will be checked before the stem cell infusion, and in case he needs a transfusion.
We had a consult with the dietician - she will be seeing Doug twice a week. We also saw the social worker; Doug filled out the form called "Five Wishes" that takes the place of a Living Will. I asked for a form so I can fill one out also - it seems very well thought out and is accepted in 40 states.
Tomorrow we go to the clinic but just for the blood draw and Dr. visit. Thursday is the actual stem cell transplant and we will be in the clinic most of the day.
Love to all of you.

Hey Doug - Happiest of Birthdays to You! Did you get the Nintendo for your birthday or for the chemo treatments? That would sure help pass the time. Take care and stay germ free!
