Just to keep everyone updated.Todd had a wonderful visit with Tiffy today.She really gave him a much needed pick me up.They took down his last bag of ara-c monday at 4p.It seems to me he is tolerating the chemo alot better this go round.They are keeping the nausea at bay, and the Doctor took him off the vancomycin yesterday.So now it's the waiting period.Trying to keep our minds elsewhere and handle some other things while we wait. So far he has not needed any transfusions of yet.His counts were already shot to S*$%.They never fully recovered from the last round.He is up walking around the length of the hallway and has not had a fever yet.So we are just waiting for the preliminary's when they do the bmb.He asked the doc could he go home for a little while and the answer was no.Rosetti said they don't want him to have to be admitted right back if he spike's a temp.He is really getting stir-crazy in there.Told me he feels like he is in jail.

Well I think I spoke to soon.They have just hung a drip of some kinda pain med because Todd's esophagus is sore.So much for the Ice chips.He completed his second induction  on November second.No complications up until today.He has been spiking fever's all night long and complaining of chest pain and nausea.So I'm off to the hospital again.I got a chance to speak with his doc yesterday and she told me she expect's he is in remission.She said it with a smile and that made me feel so good.Him too.They are going to wait for his count's to come up to see if he is in remission.I can expect that because of the fever's last night, and the chest-pain's they will do a chest x-ray to rule out pnuemonia.Just another bump on luekemia lane.I am getting kinda used to all the up's and down's that come alomg with this.He sounded a bit afraid today so I'm going over there to sit with him.Any little change's seem to send him into anxiety attacks so they did start him on ativan.His bloodpressure was very low last night so they are giving him I.V fluids.They gave him oxycodone for some pain and I'm hoping that was what dropped his B/P.His Doctor said because of his translocation they are going to transplant.Smells, food, perfume's, are starting to make him very nauseated.I wonder if that is normal???

Ty WBF.They couldn't find anything wrong as of 2:30 today,but they sure did give him the work-overBlood,Ct-scans-,chest-x-ray,anti-fungals,antibiotics regular drill.They are currently counting his wbc's manually, he has 340 0f them I think she said not sure.I got a chance to meet a 11 year transplant survivor today.Spoke with him.He look's great.gave me and Todd alot of hope.Praying for a good bmb this go round.
