Good Day

The TPA and heparin are working to dissolve the clot. It has not dissolved to the extent they wanted so Harry is still in CCU at EJGH. They will be doing another procedure at 9am tomorrow morning. At that time they will decide if he stays in CCU another day or returns to the 5th floor.

After we get through with this episode Harry will have to have surgery to remove the port they put in on Monday. It is obvious that his body does not like it and to eliminate the risk of future blood clots - they will remove it.. but he will go home first. After that it seems that they will insert a pic(spelling????) line into his arm and administer the chemotherapy that way instead.

I am at the airport heading to Arizona for a short work trip. Much to Harry's disappointment he will probably stay in the hospital until I return.

I will be contacting some of you for assistance in visiting with him and checking on him when he returns to the 5th floor until I get home and someone to take him home if they release him ahead of time.

He has his cell phone with him - but remember he is pretty tired right now. Please feel free to call me on my cell 504-416-9141 if you want to ask questions or offer to spend some time with him.

Thank you for your support - we could not do this without you..

all our love

Harry and Mona
