Keith was admitted to UNC yesterday. He got his chemo around 4pm. He had a very restless night. Bad headache and nausea. Docs came to check on him today. He was sitting on side of bed and politely asked them to move....he did make it to the bathroom on time! Unfortunate side effect of this chemo. It only took 15 minutes to give it, but it packs a powerful punch. He is getting his stem cells today. This should only take about 20 minutes. He is very nauseous and has a bad headache. The nurse said some people get headaches first few days of being there because the air is so dry (the whole unit is heppa filtered). I had a headache from being there too.
Anyway, other than that, he is doing well. Unfortunately, ben accidentally dropped keiths cell phone in the toilet so it is toast. Waiting on a new one to arrive today.
He does have his laptop and he does have a Skype account, so we were able to let ben see him and chat with him last night. That was pretty cool
The nurses said he can decorate his room however he wanted, so anyone that would like to send cards, posters, pics, encouraging words would be great. No flowers but cards and stuff are fine.
Here is the address and phone number to his room. He should have his cell phone back up and running tonight or tomorrow.
mailing address: BMTU Room 4841 4th floor NC Cancer Hospital. 101 Manning Dr, Chapel Hill, NC 27514. phone number 919-966-6048
Thanks everyone!
