Greetings from a warm, but not so humid Maryland. Trish is feeling pretty good today. She slept a lot yesterday when I was with her most of the day. Today she feels well and I am with the boys. I picked the boys up this morning. Their plane was early, but we spent an hour waiting for the luggage to be unloaded. To make matters worse Matt's suitcase never came. They quickly told us it was still in Ft. Lauderdale. Funny thing is that his was the first to be weighed and checked in, sounds like they just forgot to put it on the conveyor belt. It should be landed about now 5:30 and courier to Havre de Grace sometime tonight.

After the airport fiasco, we headed to the hospital and the boys visited with Trish for about an hour and than I took them to Fells Point for lunch. Andy, Matt and their friend Eli are up to attend the Hopkins Lacrosse Camp this week and than Andy and Matt will stay up to visit post transplant.

Trish is feeling good now. Today will be her last day of busulfan and the Cytoxan starts tomorrow -- at 4 o'clock in the morning. They will flood her with fluids and a drug called Mesna to insure that the cytoxan doesn't hurt her bladder. They say she will be making many trips to the bathroom.

The transplant is on track for Tuesday. My guess is it will be late in the day. The boys finish camp on Wednesday. It will be a busy week.

If you read this Saturday and have a chance to call Trish in her room please do so. She's bored today. My guess is she will be sleepy tomorrow when I am there with her. The phone number is in the left column - I am sure she will appreciate the call.
