A Better Hat

We arrived at the hospital at 7 this morning; Ryan was wearing his Michigan sock hat, of course! The woman who was at the admissions desk told him that she'd have to find him a better had. He didn't think that was very funny :)

We got up to his room around 7:30 and then they had to draw blood for labs and get his third dose of the medicine he's been getting since Sunday. Once they finished all of that and got his admission questions asked, he went to surgery to have his central line placed. He was gone from about 9-11. Things went really well and he said he didn't feel any pain. He ate lunch when he came back - he was complaining about being hungry when we first got here. Things seem pretty much similar to Miami Valley here. We asked about Aubrey visiting and the nurse told him that he would be able to go to the waiting room and see her. She also said that we should have brought her today since there's nothing going on and he could have used a distraction.

I'm sure that Ryan would enjoy getting email: rwulber@mvctc.com, cards: The James Cancer Hospital, Ryan Wulber, room 341, 300 W. 10th Ave., Columbus, OH 43210. He also will have his cell phone, we thought that he wouldn't be able to have that, but they told us that he certainly could use his cell phone. He also has a room phone number: 614-293-3408.

Ryan is allowed to have visitors, as long as the visitors are not sick - not even a cold!

Radiation begins at 7:00 tomorrow morning. I'll be away from Columbus for a couple of days so we truly appreciate the prayers over Ryan that he doesn't get bored while I'm away.
