Immediately following Christmas my Dad was admitted to UMASS for his stem cell transplant. So far so good.....he has buzzed off his hair and appears to be taking it all in stride. He remains in good spirits despite some nausea. His white count is back on the rise and hopefully he will be allowed to come home in a week or two. I'm pretty sure he is craving fast food. He's not allowed to eat anything that isn't prepackaged, frozen first, single serving, etc. No lunch meat, no fresh fruits and veggies (because of risk of bacterial contamination). I think he's making a list of the restaurants he wants to visit when this part of the ordeal has come to a close.
The unit he is on only has 5 beds. He is going a little stir crazy, so feel free to call him and eat up some of the time. He has been walking every day, trying to keep up his strength. Please keep him in your thoughts. Thanks.
