Hi Everyone
Claire here …
Wow!! What a day.
Scott has done so incredibly well.
He started eating ice and blue slush puppy at 945am and finished 5 1/4 hours later at 3pm.
He was really cold at one point and very tired from about 2 hrs in … but carried on with focus and courage. We thank God for His amazing strength that has carried us today.

The malphalan went in over 30 mins without any problems.
He will have the kidney dialysis tomorrow morning around 1030am. The kidney specialist popped in to see us which was great … so good to know they watching his kidneys closely. The malphalan is known to affect kidneys so they want it to do its job in his bone marrow for 16-20 hours and then they do dialysis to remove it so that it does not damage the kidneys.

Please pray for his kidneys to continue to be strong and for good sleep for him tonight.

Please also pray that he will not get any ulcerations in his throat – they say this usually occurs in 8-10 days time if it is going to happen and may happen despite all our efforts with the ice. But we are trusting that Scott will remain free from any ulcers or infections.

We are very thankful to be through today and for Scott to have handled so well.

Thank you so much for your love and prayers. It’s hard to articulate how much we appreciate all your amazing love and support. Xx
