It has been a long day!! I am typing this cause Eric is exhausted. The hospital was suppose to give us a call when they were ready for us to check in. We assumed that would be this morning sometime. I finally called the nurse (Amy) at 11:30 this morning to have her double check on things. She called back letting us know that they were trying to get a room for Eric. They were full and a couple people were checking out. Thought it would be sometime around 4 p.m. before we would get the call.. So after a few conference calls (work) for Cindy we took off in the afternoon and did some exploring on the "L". I wanted to try to figure it out before I needed to take it downtown for work.. We took off and went to visit Chris and Andrea (Eric's brother and sister in-law). They just bought a house in the suburbs and we wanted to see them and and the house. The "L" was good.. Chris and Andrea's house is good.. It reminds me of my first house. Older house with lots of character. Very nice! We are very happy for them.. I am hoping to stay there beginning this weekend. They are going to Florida with a bunch of college kids for spring break. I will watch the house, feed the cat and get the mail...
Chris brought us back to Rush this afternoon around 4 and showed us the lay of the land. We had to stop at the M.S. office so they could draw some labs from Eric. Still no call from the hospital.. We finally got the call around 5. Registration was a breeze. We got up to our floor.. but then had to wait for his room to finish the sanitation phase. Because this is the transplant floor they keep everything as sanitary as possible. We will give you the run down if you come to visit. It is now 9:45 p.m. and E is starting his first dosage of chemo. So far so good.. Will see what tomorrow brings. They say sometimes it takes a day or 2 before you start feeling bad. Hopefully he will tolerate this all well!

Did Eric have a line put in his chest? I had heard that the chemo is now going in through the arm. I am wondering if that is, indeed, the case.
Eric has a port and they were able to use the port for all of the IV's so far
Is it in his arm?
No it is in his chest. He got it a few years back cause he was doing so much IV prednisone. He was also in the hospital back in 2006 after a very bad attack!
