Big, Big Day - Happy to be home

Today, Thursday, October 1st, is a big, big day for us. On a whirl wind, surprise, the doc let Ken out of the hospital yesterday. We thought he would be there a few more days, but at the last minute, the doc decided to let Ken come home. Seems the insurance wouldn't let Ken keep his appointment for today to have his pet scan if he was still in-patient. He needed to be considered out-patient to keep the appointment. So, we came home at 7:00 last night, only to travel back to Denver this morning at 9:00 for his pet scan. We are happy to be home.

We are giving Ken shots for his blood clots again, for another 3 months. He has medicine for his pneumonia and hope to have that healed within the next 2 weeks. Ken actually feels ok. He has a small cough, but no fever, no chest pains, no other symptoms. He is moving slow, but feels pretty good.

Today is the pet scan, today is the doctor's appointment at 2:30 with Dr. Myint, today is the day we find out about the cancer progression. At this appointment, we will hear the results and find out if Ken really needs a bone marrow transplant. We hope to have answers today. Keep us in your thoughts today. We will blog as soon as we can with the news.
