First day of treatment

Well, we got the catheter put into Michael heart today for them to administer the chemo. It was a surgical procedure that lasted about 45 minutes and then they did a chest x-ray to make certain that a lung was not punctured or that a vein was leaking. Everything was okay. We were to come into the hospital early this morning, but did not have a room available until 6:00pm so we are waiting for the chemo to be started. It is now 9:30pm, so it may be midnight before they start it, but they tell us that it will be started tonight. If you all call us and we don't answer, it may be that we are unable to get cellular service in the room, so leave a message and we will return your call as soon as we get the message. The rooms in the hospital are very nice and roomy. Tomorrow I will bring Michael's computer up to the room so he will have something to do. He is having gaming withdrawals. My laptop is just too slow for him. Will update tomorrow. They just came in the the iv fluid and zantac too administer before he starts the "red Devil" chemo. Pray that his body will react the way it should to the chemo. God is good!!!!!!!

Terri and Michael
