We're all set to head to Houston later this morning. We can't thank Judy Hewlett enough to brave the melting ice and take us to the airport today. This will be a big relief in terms of conserving Susan's energy as we battle the crowds at Love Field.
Susan had a pretty good night. She took tylenol and phenergan before retiring last night and this seemed to help. But her nutritional input is still very low, and she has developed a big sensitivity to smells. (I'm starting to wear aftershave again just to make me appear to be a "good" smell.) We have a very tight schedule today. We should arrive at MDA around 1:30 PM. Susan has to go immediately to get a blood test--the results of which won't be ready for 2 hours (3:30). Then the nurse--based on the test--has to give the order to the pharmacy. It then takes one hour to melt and mix the TLK286 (4:30). Chemo should start at that time and last two hours, which takes us to 6:30 when the research facility starts closing down. We will appreciate your prayers that all goes smoothly both in terms of Susan's energy levels and the schedule. Thanks!
