I am so pleased to report that Steve weathered the first of four days of consolidation IV chemo extremely well. He is on the "BuFlu" regimen of IV Busulfan and Fludarabine. Our friend Klonopin is keeping both nausea and seizures at bay, and we are thankful.
He had three helpings of home-cooked dinner, an old family recipe on the Reppen side, Five Dollar Dish, and he inhaled it. Had a plum for dessert and called it a night.
The Klonopin is x3 daily; when it wears off he straps on the shoes and spins the halls to keep active. His spirits are very good, and Molly and I enjoyed our time with him tonight. We also know that he will start a decline in energy and mojo....face plant, out of it, zonk time is Day +6 to +9, yet I think he will write his own rules and rally sooner.
Pic taken when no one was looking at the hospital. There is a remote section of the floor with family lockers and a washroom. Good night all.
