This would likely be the next step in treatment for Bobby. This is the treatment we had expected to be next before they sent us to Charlotte for the Ipi trial. Bobby is coming home tomorrow (today) :) and we will go back down on Monday...and next Monday. Thank you everyone for all of the prayers & support!

Bobby is at the lab(in Charlotte) getting his last blood draw for this week. He's doing well & will drive home tomorrow.Dan&Mom came home Sunday.

In Thomasville, NC . . . Need new furniture! Wish I had time for shopping!

Day 2...Lab work drawn at 12:02 on the dot. Had nice breakfast at Cracker Barrell. Thinking about a nap...then shopping.

First Dose..

Bobby got his first dose at noon today. Everything went well. Bobby was worried about the medication & he said he feels relieved that the beginning is behind him. There are no side effects to deal with from the drug being infused (no rigors or pain). There can be side effects which are mostly seen after the 2nd dose. They are often subtle but important (fatigue, rash, diarrhea, or headache...) Bobby was given a list of things to watch for.

So, things are going fine. Bobby has to get blood drawn at noon for the next 3 days. This is in addition to the seven times they took blood today! We are all tired...ready for bed. Thank you for all of the messages & prayers!

They hung the Ipi at 12. Working on keeping spirits up...he's doing well. IVs started without a problem. He ate nice lunch.He's causin RN issues!

Leaving for 12 days in NC. Bobby's first dose is tomorrow a.m. We are driving separately-Bobby has camper...& Dan!! ?? I will post more tonight.
