Good morning,
Nathan had as good a birthday as he could considering the circumstances. We went off to the hospital where he got an ice cream sundae and a gift. His nurse brought him a balloon attached to a car which he really enjoyed.
He had his treatment and it was fine. Still plenty of pain so it doesn't appear he is going to develop a HAMA this time.
We got home and he was VERY cranky from the narcotic. He was complaining about everything - even his birthday cake not being exactly how he wanted it. He decided to have his cake and so he did - even though he was still drugged. After that he got his presents and played with them even though he seemed a little uncomfortable. Later in the afternoon Luke and Kathy took Nathan and Julia to the candy store and when they got back Nathan had finally recovered. We had a very nice dinner at the apartment and Judy joined us.
Now for some insurance news...Luke's company was recently purchased. We found out yesterday that our health insurance will change Aug. 1. It will be a different company. They have the usual exclusions for clinical trials. So - we will start over again in the process of getting the antibodies covered. His next round starts the middle of August so we will hopefully have time. Wish us luck.....
Well - off to the hospital again. 2 days left and counting....I am really hoping the IV will work today since they need lots of blood from it.
