DAY +9 ... COTTON BOWL

The visits to Baylor each day have been around three to four hours, so today Ted and I headed for Dallas around 9:30. We thought it was a good idea to get there before the traffic for the Cotton Bowl and figured we'd be back on the road to come home around 1:00 or 2:00 and catch the game at home.

We ended up with good seats for the entire Cotton Bowl Game in Dallas ... only a few miles from the stadium. :)

Ted's HCT was low, so he got 2 units ... each unit takes an hour and a half. They also gave him magnesium, which takes about an hour, along with the regular hydration which also takes about an hour. It is expected that a transplant patient will need to get these transfusions during this process, so it's nothing unusual or wrong. Ted is doing great!

Hopefully we will be back home in the early afternoon to enjoy the warm weather! And Ted is going to try and clean the white paint off my car from when I hit a pole in the hospital parking lot ... yikes, sorry about that, Ted.

Wow, sounds like a very long day. I bet Fetts is looking great after all the blood because he looked great Thursday night. It was great to see Fetts and see how HAPPY he was. He made our night. Keep up the good work.
