Ronnie and Mom have been out in Iowa City all day with Dad. He has moved into his new digs at the University of Iowa Hospital, has his PICC line in place and is getting ready to start his first phase of chemotherapy sometime tonight. From here on out I'm not going to use that word's knickname because people tend to focus on the first half and not the second. I talked to Mom around 5:45pm tonight and they were going to have another meeting with the doctor to discuss things regarding the treatment schedule. For those of you that have been itching to play Dr. Google on the internet here is some more information to look up regarding his treatment regiment. They are going to start him on what is known as the Hyper CVAD regimen. As I posted earlier they will keep him out there after the first phase to monitor him to see how he is handling the drugs. That is about all I can think of right now. Thanks to everybody that has sent cards to the house in Orion, I am going to get them to Ronnie so he can take them to Mom and Dad tomorrow along with the message Dad got from the US Census Bureau offering him an administrative job in Peoria, IL.
Good luck tonight Dad as you start getting better!!!!

Hi Ed, Thanks for the information, did talk to your Mother, this morning, as I told her anything we can do just let us know, we can drive there and sit with Ron, if that would help, whatever. Hang in there.
