MD Anderson has tweaked Luke’s bone marrow transplant schedule. He I still being admitted Sunday (12/1) but BMT will not occur until Tuesday 12/10. When Luke is admitted they will run more tests including one to check Luke’s sensitivity to the chemo that kills off his bone marrow. Chemo will now start Wednesday 12/4 and take four days. After chemo Luke will rest for two days and the BMT will be 12/10. The other change in the schedule is Kendall’s schedule. MDA has recommended that Kendall stay out of a hospital environment between now and the BMT to minimize her exposure to disease and pestilence. Dear sweet Kendall Ann Babb is going to remain in Houston until they pull her bone marrow on 10/9. All the tests MDA has done on both Luke and Kendall have turned up no red flags. Fingers are crossed that that continues. Blood/platelet drive for Luke is 12/7 and the Residence Club. It’s recognized it’s a lousy time of year for a blood drive but over the next month we’ve been told Luke will need a lot of blood and platelets. If he has replacement units he will receive priority for his needs. Please if you are in the neighborhood stop by and make a deposit! Send me an email at LukesBlood@earthlink.net if you would like a time to donate! Luke goes under to get his PICC line tomorrow. His attitude is great. He’s going to whip the asshat. Everyone have a great turkey day. After you get plenty of nourishment and plan on coming by for a blood letting on the 7th! Regards Dave
