Long Day at the PDH

From Ken:

Nick needed a blood transfusion today which has been standard practice during the 5-10 days following chemo. We will likely be here until about 6pm and then go back to the hotel. Nick is neutropenic which is a fancy word meaning he cannot fight infection because his white blood count is too low. We are really hoping he does not get an infection because that means instant admission to the hospital and heavy antibiotics. He has a few more days until his counts start coming back up. Leanna, Mike and Kim arrived this morning on the red-eye and are out shopping around.
