This past week has been mostly filled with trips to Moffitt for Dad to get his central line catheter flushed daily and to receive blood support.
Saturday, February 20: Dad had to go to the main campus of the Moffitt Cancer Center since the Moffitt Cancer Center at International Plaza (MIP) is only open on weekdays. Dad’s dressing for his central line catheter was changed. His line was flushed.
Sunday, February 21: Back at the main campus of Moffitt again, Dad had his central line catheter flushed.
Monday, February 22: At Moffit Cancer Center at International Plaza (MIP), Dad had his central line catheter flushed and a blood draw to check his counts. All counts (white blood cells, platelets and hemoglobin) came back low.
Tuesday, February 23: Dad returned to MIP for his daily central line catheter flush. He received two bags of blood via transfusion to boost his hemoglobin level.
Wednesday, February 24: Dad went to the main campus of the Moffitt Cancer Center. He met with Denise, the transplant coordinator, and she shared good news. The 19 year old donor was able to reschedule so that Dad can be admitted this Sunday, February 28th to begin his stem cell transplant process. We are very happy! Dad also had his daily central line catheter flushed and received a platelet transfusion.
