5/24/12 Lab, Doctor & Chemo Visit at Duke

Good news this morning.  No fever for Joe.  Had his initial labs before 7:20am and saw the doctor (both Leigh Howard and Dr. Zafar) at 8:20am and were done with that part by 9am.  The doctor ordered additional lab work to be done before his chemo appointment.  Some more extensive labs to maybe see if they can find a reason for the fevers.  But, apparently there is some confusion at the lab so Joe is still waiting (an hour now) for the blood to be drawn.   But he will have his chemo as scheduled, if he ever gets up to the 4th floor for them.  Which he did at 10:30am.

P.S. Joe was irritated that I didn't mention the fact that he got a bed today for his chemo infusion instead of a chair. The chairs were all full so he got to lay down. A first for him. My humblest apologies for my neglect in not reporting this earth shattering news of his.


Have a great day and thanks for caring!
