So Dad had his transplant today and Joe said he received more stems cells this go round than his entire trip last time. Also, it was a different blend of stem cells. The doctors think these will be more effective. He will be receiving another transplant tomorrow I believe but will not be bone marrow.
Cindy said this morning one of the nurses seemed to think Dad may be staying until Wednesday but still no confirmation. Dad really does not want to be here anymore, cabin fever has set in but much more quickly this time. I guess it doesn't matter how good looking the nurses are, he wants out.
I did not go see him today since Cindy and I went on an excursion to Ambergrise Caye. We found a beautiful vacationing spot that we want Dad to see. Once he is all healed, we will take him to Belize but not to see Eden, to vacation!!! However, we may just have to stop by and say hi.
Cindy and I took a plane over there from Corozal to San Pedro and I sat in the co-pilots chair both there and back. I have awesome pics and video of our adventure. To sum it up we rented a golf cart drove about 40 min. to the end of the world swam in the pool, had a drink, drove back (through major potholes and lakes), about 5-6 vicious hungry dogs chased us but we were able to lose them in our high powered golf cart :) and made it back in time for our 5 o'clock flight to Corozal.
Cindy is at the clinic now, Joe is watching basketball in the room drinking a beer and I am at the hotel restaurant drinking a beer :) writing ya'll! Probably need to be doing homework but this is more important.
To answer Bean's book of questions :) there aren't any patients here from last time. All are new except Dad's roommate, he is here for a booster as well. He seems to be doing very well and its very hard to see any signs of ALS which is awesome.
Cindy is eating all the conche seviche on the island all alone. I tried it and don't like it...sorry!
Ok the bartender is starting to get nosey so I'm going to go now.
Talk to you soon!
Love ya
Tami, Joe, Cindy, and Dad!!!!
