Day -7

    First day of admission to the hospital.  Joe had a procedure this morning to provide central line for ease of giving medicine and drawing blood daily.  The whole process took about 3 hours and it went very well.    

    He is now in his room doing fine on floor 4 East #77.  (He is already asking for a bigger room, but who can blame him when he is spending the next few (4-6) weeks of his life here.)  They are going to try to move him tomorrow to a corner room.  

    He will have a few more tests this afternoon and get use to the hospital routine of being checked every 4 hours.  He starts Chemo tomorrow around 6am through an IV in his room.  They think he should feel ok for the first week.  

    Thanks for all the warm wishes, thoughts and prayers.  Keep them coming as this is a marathon not a sprint (good thing he stays in shape.)
