Similar to day 4 and 5 of the first course of VTEPA, Jeff is lethargic, tired and feeling crappy. Today, being the last day, Jeff will receive a 6 hour bag of chemotherapy. He will also undergo a procedure to remove the pick line, that is currently in his chest, to have a larger central line installed. This will allow for the removal of stem cells as they prepare for the stem cell procedure in the weeks to come.
There are several things to be excited about today. The last test of Jeff's cerebral fluid showed ZERO meningitis cells. Although he is still experiencing severe headaches, the doctor said this could be the result of swelling in the mengies due to the meningitis. And, it looks as if the Blounts will not be extending their stay at Emory past tonight or tomorrow. There is a chance he is going to be released tonight, but it not, tomorrow (heads up dinner volunteers).
