Off to Dallas, We Go

Post by Valerie:
Yesterday, Dad got word that it's time. After checking the last tests, Dr. P. says to move forward to the Stem Cell Transplant. Dad had completed his 4th cycle of Revlimid and we weren't sure what they were going to suggest next. But here it is!

They said that Dad needs to be there (at the Baylor Cancer Center) and ready to start treatment on Thursday, July 7th. We will be updating the blog as much as possible during the process, so the details of what he is going through with the treatment will be available to check at a later time. The first step is to boost the production of stem cells to collect. That will take a few days initially.

While going through all of this, Dad will be staying at an apartment supported by the hospital that is located very close. Paula will be there providing care and transporting him back and forth. I will be coming in for relief as much as possible. Kaylee will be there for some of the this but will likely be spending alot of time with family and friends. Tim and Kim will be home in Waco having a baby!!!

Restoring life for Dad and Bringing life to Harrison..... Our family appreciates all of the thoughts, prayers, and kind words that have been coming. Please continue to do this, as it helps to provide strength and support in our times of need.
