Mom's phone call

I just got off the phone with Mom. Dad had his last IV chemo today (as far as this transplant session goes), had some lab work done at the Hunstman. He has been very lightheaded, dizzy. Blood pressure was very low, so they gave him IV fluids. His white count was down to 0.05...amazing. The next 3 days will be critical. The nurse said to keep their fingers crossed that he doesn't spike a fever. So far, he has defied expectations: No mouth, throat, or digestive tract sores, no VT'ting or D, only queazy stomach and severe weakness, lethargy. He is eating as best he can, Ensure, oatmeal if he can stomach it. Packing his mouth with ice chips obviously helped minimize the uptake of the chemo into the cells of his digestive tract last week. I love you, Dad.
