Well your going to love this.....HE HAS TO WAIT! When we got to UAB today, they checked his file and found that there were 4 test that they needed to be done before Chemo. They are also requesting that his feeding tube be put in before they begin. We were very frustrated because these test could have been done from last Wednesday till today. Today we had a chest x-ray done and bloodwork done. This took from 1:10 to 6:00, whole afternoon. Tomorrow Joe has his stitches removed from the Port surgery he had done last week. We have to be on call for a CT scan of his head and he will have an Echocardiogram done Monday morning at 9:30. He will have surgery on Tuesday to insert the feeding tube and will have to stay overnight in the hospital. Then if all this is done before next Wednesday the Chemo will begin.

Please pray to for understanding in the procedures at the hospital. We know things take time but sometimes it seems we are standing in the dark.

Will keep you informed.

Love,
Crystal
