As usual there's been a slight change of plans. The testing in Houston was supposed to take 2 days, Tuesday and Wednesday. The nurse called late yesterday afternoon and told Bill that they are out of the RNA (some kind of radioactive test solution) that is needed for the mapping of his heart. They wanted to re-schedule the entire 2 days for the following week, but he has an appointment with Dr. Garrett the transplant doctor that week. So, since they may have the solution on Thursday or Friday, we are going to stay for a couple of extra days and be home either Saturday or Sunday, depending on what day they can do that procedure. Otherwise, if it hasn't come in by then he will have to go back to have just that test done. Best case scenario if that is what happens is for the team to have all of the other tests evaluated by then and after the MUGA test, could start the next step which is the actual stem cell implantation.

Did I explain that he has a 15 in 20 chance of getting the actual stem cells? I don't think I did and I don't want to give the impression that getting the stem cells is certain. There are also different "doses" of the stem cells, 25 million, 50 million and 75 million.

All for now, have a great day everyone!
