The third IL-2 infusion was completed at 2:40. They are now flushing the line with the dextrose solution before they switch back to the saline solution.
The best news is that the 2nd infusion went pretty much side effect free--no nausea, no shakes, no fever! Woody slept a lot and even ate a little--a banana, some mandarin oranges, strawberry ice cream and some jelly beans over the 8 hour period. He drank water and some 7-up. He even got up and brushed his teeth. AND best of all he smiled at me--a smile that I haven't seen often enough over the last weeks!
He is sleeping now. I'm praying that the next eight hours go as well as the last! The nurse said that she told them at the pharmacy to make it just like the last dose!
