Melphalan Chemo is Finished

Hi Everyone this is Kim. Unfortunately we still don't have internet capablilities in Wallace's room so I am posting for him so you can stay up to date on his status.

Monday we arrived at the Cancer Institute and got Wallace all settled in his room. He is in a temporary room and will be moved once a window room opens. Please check with the nurses desk as to which room he is in if you visit. The day ended with a blood trasfusion which kept him up most of the night.

Tuesday was filled with hydration and the large dose of Chemotherapy. He is starting to have waves of nausea, but hasn't started to get sick yet and we hope it continues like this.

Today is the transplant and hopefully Wallace will be able to post on his status soon.

Wallace is permitted visitors, but anyone who visits should ensure they haven't been sick or around anyone who was sick for a 2 week period prior to visiting. He is on Station 31 - Special Care Unit. Please follow all the handwashing instructions prior to entering the ward. This coming weekend we have been told is the worse time for visitors as he probably won't be awake much and will be most vulnerable to germs.
Kim
