August 7, 2010 (Sat.)

David is in room # 7626 and the phone number is (714) 456-3118

Joe and I took David the famous Farmer Boys Breakfast Burrito early this morning. A doctor was checking his vital signs when we got there and said that David's blood count is better. David hasn't had internet access since he was admitted so Joe took David's laptop down to the lobby and a wonderful hospital employee (Sonet) was kind enough to help get it working again.

David said that he feels like "garbage". He says he can't wait to be finished taking the chemo pill Thioguanine, it is one of the medications that give him such a bad headache. He received an injection of chemo (Cytarabine) last night and is supposed to receive another one tonight. They have given him a dose of the Anti-nausea medication (Emend) on Thursday, Friday and he will receive his last dose today, it should then last for 5 days and hopefully he will start feeling better soon. 

Joe was sent a link from a friend about a new article that was written about the injuries people have incurred from the burn pits in Iraq: 
Ailing vets sue over smoke from trash fires in Iraq, Afghanistan

David joined the class action lawsuit earlier this year:

He's planning on being discharged either late Sunday night or Monday morning.

"Now, LORD, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant, Jesus."
Acts 4:29-30
