Onother Day of Testing

Loads of blood tests, cardiogram, and a biopsy of the liver, busy day.  They got 5 samples.  Left home at 7:00 a.m. and never got home until 4:00 p.m.  Our friends, Paul & Joyce and their dog Casey, who are in Tittusville, an hour and a half away, came to let Bruno out and stay with him for a while.  Awesome friends, we have been lucky with friends.  Bill & Nancy babysat Bruno while we were in Maine and going to Boston, and Larry & Luci and their dogs Daizy and Patches babysat him several times too.  Everybody loves Bruno.

Only one test left, the one where they harvest white blood cells to see where his immune system is.  This will be a base line.  This will be done next Wednesday, it will take a couple of hours.  They take blood out of one arm, have it piped into a machine that takes the white blood cells out, then the blood goes back into the other arm.  I believe his first infusion will be the same day.

Hoping for the weather to cool down, it gets really hot in my "woman cave", can't wait to get in there and scrapbook some more.
