Good afternoon, everybody. Richard finished his last bag of chemo. at 3:00 a.m. this morning. Unfortunately, he is not yet able to go home because the doctors said he has to finish his antibiotics. He is getting intrathecal antibiotics into his Omaya port and antibiotics into his chest port as well. We requested that the doctors discuss sending him home and then have him get the IV antibiotics from a visiting nurse group. He will probably at least have to stay here to get the intrathecal antibiotics through Wednesday or Thursday. Richard is quite disappointed about this because he was thinking he would be able to go home when the chemo. is complete. After this cycle of drugs, he sleeps for several days. He is not looking forward to trying to accomplish that here at HUP. We just keep telling ourselves that it could be worse, and this is really not all that bad compared to what some people go through. Thanks again for all of your love and support. Love, Daphne
P.S. Gabby, I resent the comment about the Easter pics.... ;P
