it's been a long time since i posted here but i often read your messages when ian (dansk) logs on.
as most of you will know, ian will be going back into hospital on monday for an allogeneic stem cell transplant and will be away from the forum for a good few weeks (hopefully he'll be back home within 4-6 weeks).
last time he was in hospital many of you sent messages to his ward and i know they cheered him up immensely.
Yet another update..........Still groggy, but on the up!!!!!!!!!!
Drips are being reduced in number and substituted for oral medication .....in preparation for home!!!!!!!!!!!
He's hoping to be out possibly early next week if things go according to plan.
Once again, he and I say thanks for your unstinting support...in fact....all the smiley faces there are.

Ian's update..... Saturday evening. Infection in the line. He's feeling particularly rough and has a temperature. He reckons he'll be in for another 2 weeks. He feels like a caged bear, but hasn't got the energy to roar. However, he still wants to be remembered to all!.
Sorry I haven't got better news or a home date to report.

Another update......good news.......Ian's feeling a tad better today. A bit of a sore throat, but eating and drinking reasonably well. He received 30 egreetings today!!!!! So he wanted me to thank everybody soooo much for your kind thoughts and wishes. And also the card from Juni.
He's grateful for ALL the contacts
Best wishes to you all from me too

Another update. Just rung Ian (it's 10pm) and he's had a rotten day. It sounds like the worst day yet. Not eating, not drinking. I'll spare you the other gory details.
But he did manage to ask me to say thanks to you all for your kindness. I'm not sure how many e-greetings he's received, but I know they're piling up!
He said thanks to GGG for her card too. I do hope I've not missed anybody else out. Forgive me if I have.
Love
Claire

Latest update.... Ian had the stem cells last night and actually feels quite perky again. He's a bit sleepy, I think that is the super-duper anti sickness medication they've given him. The nurses went into his room at 9 this morning and woke him up!! Never in our married life have I known him sleep later than 7am!!!!!!!
Anyway, so far, so good.

The latest update......... feeling absolutely terrible, the medication given to drop his immunity down to almost zero (in order to receive his donor's stem cells and allow them to take over) has made him feel so sick and prone to infection. All he can do is lie on the bed and flit in and out of sleep the whole day.
However, he knows that this is what is needed in the great scheme of things to get him back on track, so he's trying to be a perky as he can be. He thanks everybody, once again for your unstinting support and messages of love....and so do I !!!!
Love to everyone

The latest -- eating like the proverbial horse - well, not the hospital food, but the crisps, pringles, chocolate biscuits and nibbles I take him in, plus drinking plenty of ribena. He did like yesterday's lasagne and doughnut however. He says the food served isn't a patch on mine....he's always been a fussy bugger!!!!!!!!
But it's lovely to see him bearing up

Been to see His Highness today. He's quite well and wants me to say thank you for the 55 e-greetings he's received and the card off Ian and Marie.
Will keep you updated.

Have just got off the phone to Ian this evening, he's quite perky and feeling not too bad at all!!!!
Eating well (as far as hospital food allows) and doing as he is told by drinking plenty.
He's asked me to remind everybody that he wants to hear from YOU ALL via e-greetings so if you go on to 'The Christie Hospital' on google and click on 'send e-greeting' it'll make his stay bearable!!!! (There is also a link on the first posting ).
Thanks again for all the support so far.

Thanks everyone. Just rang the ward and spoke to Ian. He's had a rough night with sickness, but he's trying hard to put on a brave face and sound cheerful. How on earth he does that when he's going through so much *&^% is beyond me!!!!!!!
Please keep this post going.
