Dad and I started today with a plan: We were scheduled to arrive at the BMTU at 10am, but we instead showed up at 8am, hoping that the earlier we started the earlier we would be able to leave. It worked! Dad got his third (and last) dose of Palifermen and they set us free.

We immediately headed back up to Huntsville. We stopped at Vic's garage sale on the way back, ate some lunch, and then arrived at Al and Amanda's without mishap. Dad is super-excited about getting to spend almost the whole weekend at home! He does not have to be back in Birmingham until Monday morning, for his first dose of Busulfan.
Dad is feeling pretty good right now. His neck is still a little sore from getting the two central lines, especially on the left side. The only side effect he's felt from the Palifermen so far is an increased feeling of "sliminess" in his mouth and a slight change in taste. We're going to battle that by taking him out for Mexican tonight!
That's all for now, until Monday!
Glad to hear your plan worked and that you got a short day at the hospital. Have a great weekend.
