Dr. Bobs Adventure

We've created this blog for several reasons. First is to keep family and friends(including Bobs' pts.)informed of Bobs' condition while he undergoes treatment for Acute Myelogenous Leukemia(AML) at HUP. You may also write to Bob by posting a comment, which I'll print for him to read. Please feel free to pass this blog site on to anyone you think may want to join us.Instructions to blog are listed under day 12, and bobs' address etc are under day 14.

December 8, 2011, 1st Day Post-op

Bob is doing very well today. His arterial line was d/c'd and his IV's are capped. He's up to a regular diet and had taken 3 walks as of 5pm. His chest tube and foley catheter are due to come out tomorrow. If all goes according to Hoyle, he will be discharged Saturday. The surgeon is quite impressed with how well he is doing.

So once again your prayers, good vibes and well wishes have worked. Bob sends his best to everyone. I'll keep in touch tomorrow.

All our love and thanks,
Bob and Mo
