JD - 21 months (almost)

Discharged

Jeff was discharged on Saturday. The transplant will probably be in about a month. In the mean time, he'll be getting another round of chemo to ensure he remains in remission.

Things Did Look Good

But, sometime late last night Jeff got the chills and started running a temp. His joints are aching, his head is pounding and his back hurts. He has a little bit of chest congestion.

So, Jeff is back in Hershey with his Mom (thank goodness for Marilyn), while I finish up the work week. He was admitted this afternoon, and we'll hopefully have a diagnosis soon.

On another note...

We can continue planning for the transplant, as GE has overturned Health America's denial. What a relief!

Surgery

The placement of the Ommaya reservoir went off without a hitch this morning. Jeff is now enjoying a little morphine and getting ready to eat lunch.

The Whole Story

Instead of rehashing the entire story and annoying myself again, I'm only going to say that Jeff didn't get his Ommaya placed yesterday, and according to me, it was caused by a bit of myopia on the part of the surgical staff. It's been rescheduled for next week, and it seems that things will be a little better organized.

As you can see from Danielle's comment, she has been a bit of thorn in my side since the day she was born. She is, however, my "sister," and I love her to pieces.
