All the tests that Ralph had this week indicate that he is able to have the transplant. His height is now 3 inches shorter than he last remembers. He was able to joke about that! It is obvious that his spine has compressed due to the bone weakness caused by myeloma. Dr. Raptis is already thinking about that issue once the transplant is complete.
Ralph still has a window of energy each day. During that short time, he runs some errands
and goes out and about. He'd like to sit at a restaurant to eat but tires by dinner. Angelo's is his favorite, so he gets take-out. After this Thursday, he will no longer be out in public or able to eat any food from anywhere but home...preferably single serving frozen items to minimize the opportunity to contact any bacteria.
Again, thank you for your cards, calls, email, inquiries, texts, thoughts, and prayers. We have all been humbled by the sincere care and concern you have shown.
