Day 1 PM

It was a long day for Debbie. We arrived at the Hospital at about 10:00 AM and began the long process of admissions and completion of the preparatory procedures. Deb had a mugascan and a Hickman catherter inserted. She arrived back in her room at 7:30. They began the chemo at about 10:00 PM last night.

Thanks to our friend, Deb has a nice private room 941A in the Ravdin Building. Her cell phone works 215.370.6052 and her land line number is 215.615.8353.
Deb was very happy when her Oncologist stopped by last evening. It turns out that he, Dr. Tsai was the same doctore that took care of her friend Caroline. She thinks that he is fantastic and is very glad to have him. He started a 3 week cycle at the hospital last night -- which will be great for Deb.

Deb thanks everyone for the kind words and cards. I am printing the updated blog for her every day and she likes to read them.

One final word about the blog. It is so popular that it is hard to log on in the evening. If you have done your posting, please sign off so others can log on.

Thanks again for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. Deb sends her love to all. JT

Debbie and Joe: It is so comforting to have this site to keep in touch with you during your ordeal (Thanks, Jess!). Although we can't always be beside your bed squeezing your hand, please know that I'm squeezing as hard as I can from a distance. You're both in our hearts, thoughts and prayers every minute.

Love,
Cathy

First!
Good morning Chizzie. Glad to hear that you are settled in and already hard at work!

Have you had your cup of tea yet this morning?

Was it brought to you by a Ricky-Martin-Latin-houseboy/orderly?

Or was it a Calvin-Klein- model/dietary aide?

Can you believe it's already December?

I love you honey! K

Deb, I think I was the first one to forget hsi user password. Never was the sharpest blade. I hope that you are having a better day today! Everyone is pulling for you!

Debbie, I'm thinking of you and can't wait to see you again. As soon as this scratchy throat clears up, I'll come down. We love you very much.
