So, Caleb's counts were high enough...2200 to be exact! The next step was to wait for a bed to open up. We were packing up our stuff so that we could go and grab some lunch and while we were still packing up, the Dr. came right back in and said that there was a bed ready. WOW! We have never gotten a bed that fast. Usually it takes at least an hour, but this was 5 minutes.
Then, we were being silly and thinking it would be cool to finish this journey in the same room we started...7122. So, we went over to get our paper work and guess what room we got? 7122. Then we thought it would be awesome if Arica was our nurse for a few days as well...you know, start and finish with same room/same nurse. We have not had a bad experience asa far as nurses go but we thought it would be pretty cool. Guess who greeted us when we came in the room? You got it...Arica! What an awesome thing! She said that she was going to be here for the next 4 days.
We are super excited to finally start this round. They are thinking that Caleb should be done by Wednesday sometime and go home if everything goes well.
So, this is where we are again...7122. As we were walking in, Tera said, "The walk down the hall this time is a little different than the first time we walked down this hall!" She said it quite well. It has been a journey and we are not through yet. But knowing we are closer to the end does make it a bit easier.
After this week, we still have final scans (including bone marrow scan) and the final step...his port being taken out.
I will keep you posted through the week as we progress. But know we are excited and ready to face this week and get it behind us.
Grace and Peace
