Dave was not feeling very well on Sunday, and he got so bad that Kathy took him over to the hospital, where he was admitted. He had a fever and was doing the shaky thing. Turns out it is just a minor infection. But as he is preparing for this stem cell procedure, nothing can be passed off as 'minor' to his medical team. So they have kept him in, as of tonite he has not been released. He is hoping to be going home on Wednesday. Kathy said that this should not affect the upcoming plans to start the stem cell process.
I would like to share with you all a conversation that I was fortunate enough to have today with a very nice young lady who told me that her uncle was diagnosed with end stage Multiple Myeloma at the age of 70. He also had a lot of bone damage, and she said that, aside from the year after the stem cell transplant, his last 7 years have been very good. The year after the transplant, he did experience a few respiratory infections. I was so encouraged by this story that I wanted to share it with all of you who are staying in the 'positive energy field' with regards to Dave and his situation.
So, lets keep yet another happy thought for the 'evacuation' of the infection, so that Dave can go home where he loves to be. I will keep you posted.
