He said! She said!

The doctor said that Woody was going to enter the hospital today (Mar. 3rd). The nurse said that he was going to enter the hospital on Friday (Mar. 6th).

Dr. Sosman's nurse called at noon to give us the new day and times and explain the reason for the change. What happened was that Dr. Sosman had another patient entering today and a doctor can only have one patient admitted to the cancer ward in a day. The nurse assumed after seeing Woody last week that he wasn't going to be going back in for more treatments so she scheduled someone else for today. So she was very surprised when Dr. Sosman came out from our office visit yesterday saying that Woody was definitely going to go back in for the second round. She explained to Dr. Sosman what she had done and he understood so they just rescheduled Woody for this Friday, Mar. 6th.

Woody is very glad for the respite after the long day yesterday. He is resting this afternoon. And I have been trying to get everything gathered together that we need to take. We did have to rearrange our ride to the hospital. Melany will now be taking us.

Same schedule just a different day: we are to be at the hospital at 1pm for Woody to have a picc line put in, then head to admitting, then sit around till a room is ready for us, then settle in till it is time for the first IL-2 infusion at 10pm.

Please pray for Woody's strength, as he is so much weaker than when he went in for the first set of infusions. Also pray that his kidneys don't get compromised this time.
