Fourth Day Stem Cell Stimulation

This morning came early with a 7:15 am appointment. Dirk had his fourth shot and a blood draw. We will hear a little later today if Dirk will need another shot tonight. He has had some discomfort with his central line. We've been told that is part of the experience. He seems to be a little more tired. He just keeps going and moving forward

It's nice to be able to hear both sessions of General Conference. Oh what a beautiful day!

We received word Dirk has enough stem cells. We didn't have to go back for another shot this afternoon .

Tomorrow Dirk will start the next step.He has an early appointment. They will do a blood draw , another stem cell shot  and start "gathering the stem cells". He will stay in the hospital for a few days. The cancer he has puts him at risk so they are staying on the safe side .

He plans to work from the hospital . Tonight his arms are hurting some . The medicine must be working.
