Back to UNC today...for a very long day! Tomorrow will be just as long if not longer as the plan is to begin harvesting stem cells. We received word from the BMT, Bone Marrow Transplant Team, that Pop Pop may be admitted as early as the end of next week for the Bone Marrow Transplant. Although we knew this was coming, now that it is actually upon us I can't begin to explain the mix of emotions that we are feeling. The anxiety and anticipation are palpable. If he does go in by the end of next week, there is a possibility that he will be out of the hospital for Christmas; however, he may not actually be home. The BMT team made it very clear that he needs to be within 15 min of the hospital and that he must have someone with him 24 hours a day. The operative words being
with him not nearby.
On a side note ... Nurse Lucha is scheduled for a stress test tomorrow. I am going to say that the chances that she is stressed...100%, but lets prey that her heart is not! Thank you Companion Zandra for driving Nurse Lucha (perhaps they can give you a stress test as well after that long drive to Cary).
UNC takes great care of everyone!
