U of C Day 4 - Visitors

Today was a good day. Good thing we got the bigger room because Leo had quite a few visitors today: Dad, Tita Nena, Cecil, Celeste, Myra and her dad all came to visit today. It really helps Leo to be able to see everyone as it certainly keeps his spirits up. He'll probably still be good to see people for the next few days or so, until the chemo really starts to kick in and his blood levels drop. He did have to have a blood transfusion in the middle of the night last night, so I think they are already beginning to drop. So if anyone else is planning to stop by, I would do so in the early part of the week. The closer we are to the transplant date (3/6), the more difficult it will be. And after the transplant will be even harder, until his immune system builds up again. But please, please don't come by if you have any kind of cough, congestion, sore throat, anything. Thanks!

We will be installing Skype to one of our computers as soon as we get a webcam to use. This is what we will use so that Leo can talk to and see the girls. The doctors have told us that the girls cannot come to see him, as they don't want him to catch anything and possibly derail his transplant schedule. So it's difficult for him not to be able to see them, but he certainly doesn't want this procedure to be postponed again. So if any of you have Skype, it'll probably be the best way for us to keep in touch when the date gets closer. I'm not 100% sure how it works, but when we install it, I'll let you know the user name or password or whatever you need to know to get in touch with us.

I guess that's about it. Leo just had more chemo today and no bad side effects to report. He's watched Lord of the Rings, oh I don't know....57 times since he got in here. You'd swear he's never seen it before! He is also putting his new Kindle to good use. It's pretty awesome. So he's got enough to keep his time occupied.

Till tomorrow!
