10/14 - Quick visit to JH - TOMORROW MILS DAY

8:00 a.m. -  appointment in IPOP today.  It seems we no sooner got there it was time to leave.  Now that doesn’t happen very often!!  Nurse Kathy took his temp, weight, blood work. Nurse Practitioner Mindy Landau came to see Don.  First time we had ever met her – asked the normal questions, how he was feeling?  Checked his breathing.  Oh wait she didn’t check his ankles for swelling – she must be slipping haha!!  We waited and before we knew it blood work results were back and we were heading out the door by 9:10.
9:20 – We went down to the hair place – we had a 11:00 appointment but since we were done so early we thought we would try.  They took Don right away, no problem.  The lady shaved his head (remember Bri cut it last weekend so she just had some to take off).  He bought a new head scarf, hat to wear to bed and some Vitamin E to put on his scalp to prevent dryness.  He really is a handsome devil!!!  ;)
It’s been kind of a slowww day because of all the rain in Baltimore.  We couldn’t take our walks so it has just made the day longer but that’s okay – hopefully tomorrow we can make up for it but we’ll just have to wait and see how the day goes.
Don’s eaten fairly well today – and drank a lot so no nagging today haha!
Tomorrow is the MILS infusion – which is part of the trial that he is participating in with Dr. Borrello – Myeloma Specialist.  Not sure how long this process will be but we are anticipating a long day as there will be hydration involved and I’m sure they will monitor his vitals during the process as they did during the stem cell transplant.
Keep those prayers coming – we appreciate them all!!
Till tomorrow………….
Love you all!
Don & Muffin
