The last chemo was fine and dandy. We have had so much going on lately, so let's just have a couple weeks in review. Still flushing lines at home, Eric still isn't feeling great, but actually seems to be better than last time. I don't know what was the deal with that chemo #5 but it rocked him. It is hard to believe that the chemo part is already over. How can something go so fast and so slow at the same time?! Eric giving his biohazardous waste can some lovin'. With our good friends, Rosie and Josh. This is Eric getting in the shower (phwit phwew!). A helpful nurse had us switch from plastic wrap to ziploc sandwich bags with duct tape. I got tie dye to spice things up a little bit. John gets Visitor of the Week for last week (Feb. 7-13) because he came over and played board games with Eric all day. They set up Risk, Monopoly, and Ticket to Ride and set a timer every 30 minutes, rotating from game to game. I think they played for ten hours or so (Risk twice). It was on...

Just so you all know, the scan came back with very positive results. Our doctor said it is right where she expected it to be and that it bodes well for the transplant. Wheeeeeeeee! We are gearing up for the bone marrow transplant (hereafter referred to as BMT). It still isn't scheduled which is really pushing my patience. I like to have a plan of action and there just isn't one yet. I imagine it will go something like this: last chemo, 1 week recovery, 1 week shots, next week check in for BMT, Eric there for 3 weeks, I go up on weekends and stay at home weekdays for school. We're looking forward to chemo next week. Mostly because I love the Bistro at Huntsman Center (I highly recommend the roast beef and pepper jack panini)... oh yeah! And it's Eric's last chemotherapy session! No but really, let's look at the things we love about Huntsman: 1. the Bistro 2. the Infusion nurses- they are so much fun and they think we are hilarious, so of course we love them back!...
