Jerry arrived close to eleven last night. Our new best friends Iggy and Carla got him into his very nice room with ease. Mom and I got up early and drove to Salt Lake and arrived at lunchtime. Jerry had a very busy morning while we were on our way. He met with some of his Doctors, ate a breakfast of two fried eggs, english muffin, yogurt, and Special K and especially enjoyed getting served on real dishes and using real forks for the first time in a while. After breakfast he received another bone marrow aspiration, more platelets, and antibiotics. Later in the afternoon, he was put on two rounds of chemo simultaneously...it will run for the next five days. Also, he is already being matched for a donor.
Like I said...it was a very busy day for him. This place doesn't mess around. Which is a good thing.
Mom and I are comfortable in the hotel after finding our way around. Tomorrow, I will drop her off early at the hospital and drive around a bit to look at some places to live.
The Huntsman Cancer Institute is very beautiful, and the care is abslolutely beyond words.
Jerry enjoyed a a nice meal for dinner...chicken strips, french fries, carrot cake and a chocolate shake. He said it was the best dinner he has had in a long long time.
He is fast asleep now.
