Visit to Huntsman yesterday was non-productive, really. Blood work was not high enough to harvest stem cells so just a lot of waiting around for lab tests and then home with more injections at night to boost blood production. Each morning this week will be the same process, draw blood, wait for labs, stay for BMT process, or go home and stimulate Dale's blood production with injections again. One complication has begun: urinary infection. That will probably stop the whole process. Dale's spirits have diminished and he is showing signs of discouragement. His body is not responding to "schedule" and each set back makes him know it will be a much longer year of treatment than he is ready to deal with.
We greatly appreciate ALL of you out there who visit, call, think, email, or pray for us, and especially those that are able to assist with yard work, cleaning, dinners, transportation, injections, and kindness.
