Ok everyone just a quick update- the ultrasound came back negative- so no blood clot!! Yay!! We are both exhausted but back at bobbie's and hopefully we won't have a repeat of last night! We just have to watch his temperature all night and his leg- if we end up back in the ER tonight then they are going to have to re-admitt him- so please say prayers for a calm and restful night tonight!!
We are currently waiting for the home health nurse to deliver his IV meds and teach us how to administer them :-)
Love to all!
Greetings to Everyone!
This is a blog that we have started to keep all of our friends and family updated on dad's progress so that we don't end up telling the same story over and over ;) - Thanks for coming and check back often I am REALLY making an effort to update it each and every day! Thank you all for all of your love, prayers, and support!

How can you help?
Dad is having to receive replacement blood and platelets every day - sometimes TWICE a day and if anyone is willing to donate in his name we would GREATLY appreciate it!! The only way to donate for him is AT MD Anderson in Houston - there are 2 locations available and making an appointment is STRONGLY suggested- and make sure you specify which location you want to use as the number is the same for both - which is 713-792-7777.
And OF COURSE don't forget to tell them that you are donating specifically for Melvin Larsen and that he is currently inpatient post-stem cell transplant!

I will be praying for a good night for both of you. I am so sorry for the ongoing challenges but know this is going to turn around. Please tell my favorite big brother that I am thinking about him and sending lots of good thoughts and wishes his way. And, Jessica, thanks for taking such good care of him. You are the best!
