harvest time

Sam and mom are in room 1231 right now. They are going to "harvest" Sam's stem cells today. Sam has been increasingly terrified of the shots as the past 4 days wore on. I'm hoping that fear is not the same with however they are going to put him down today, but odds are- it may get ugly.
Night was OK. Lots and lots of pee. They gave him something to make him pee. He feels miserable. They have him on round the clock ativan (nausea meds). In the night he woke up nuaseous then had a di-di attack while trying to throw up (4:30). The nurse admitted that she was 30 minutes late on his ativan. So that's how bad he feels.
He doesn't have any chemo today. Just some anti-rejection medicine. I wish I would have had some of that in high school.
Football is doing great. It was great for me to be able to get to 2 days this week. Coach Jim Anderson is keeping things working real nice, and you'll really like what you see from the defense this year. Travis Marshall is going to be a help on O. Smart, tough, good hands.
