Last night Vern received his big dose of chemo. It went well. He started feeling hot all over and then cool. I told him it was just practice for menopause :-) or perhaps puberty!

He even took a small short walk with me and Mike last night on the transplant unit. Its so nice up there. Large floor to ceiling windows with lots of modern accessories. His room is like a penthouse suite! Nice flat screen tv, fridge, and automatic window blinds. He got an awesome room that faces Michigan street and the Barnes and Nobles bookstore so he can people watch if he gets too bored! :-)

He did VERY well with the chemo! It was making him nauseous this morning but they are trying to stay on top of his meds. He is in pain though so as of a little while ago they were giving him morphine.

I had to come home today but am keeping in touch with him. His transplant went well. He did have some chest tightness but is ok now. I just got off the phone with him and he said he was very out of it from all the meds but ok.

He asked me to post this phone number on here. Its a direct line to his room. Don't worry about calling and bothering him. I told him if he wasn't up to talking to just let the voice mail get it or Sara or Mike. 317-274-9695. This phone is on from 9 a.m. until 8 p.m. I think.

He can not have any latex balloons or fresh flowers. No food either. But he can have cards and Mylar balloons. I will post later tonight with the address you can send cards.

Thanks for praying!!!!!
