Rebecca, Irena Farm Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 In case anyone is wondering, Steve's been quiet lately because he's been in the hospital since Friday with complications relating to the latest chemo round. He's at Iredell Memorial - he will probably be there for most of this week. Here's the address. Iredell Memorial Hospital 557 Brookdale Drive Statesville, NC 28677-1828 He's in Room 430. I said it back to him three times to be sure I had it right! Thank goodness I don't have to give anyone directions. He can't see visitors as they are maintaining a sterile environment. If you'd like to give him a call, just contact me privately - I have the direct line to his room. He can't talk much because of a severe throat inflammation but, you know, that's a relative concept! I'm sure he'd appreciate SHORT phone calls - especially to talk dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan's Mom Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Thanks for the info Becca. I had just emailed him yesterday to see how the chemo treatments were going and give him an update on Tess. I was a little worried when I hadn't heard back. He will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Rebecca, Irena Farm Posted March 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Sorry, b-day festivities, didn't see this. They were talking about letting him out last week, but probably not before the weekend (and his b-day Sunday, by the way). The problem is not really resolved since it was apparently a side effect of the chemo. It's tough - he's very tired of chemo and he's still got five more treatments, this round.

Miztiki Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 If anyone talks to Steve, please tell him I said Happy Birthday! Bummer he's spending it sick. He'll just have to make up for it when he's feeling better! Steve, you will feel better. Chemo's a bitch but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Rebecca, Irena Farm Posted March 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Talked to Steve, still in the hospital. He seems to have an infection they can't put a dent in, but his fever at least has broken and stayed down for a couple days. However, now he has fluid in one lung, so he won't be leaving anytime soon. He's much more up to conversation, and cards and letters are of course welcome. He thanks everybody for their kind thoughts and prayers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise Wall Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Becca, Tell him we're all thinking about him and hoping he feels better. Is he still in the same room you listed above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve clendenin Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Just to let everone know I'm home and doing ok kind of weak but that will come with time. They sent me home with a handfull of prespriptions and told me to stay inside for a few day (right). They told me to stay away from my dogs and sheep for a couple of weeks to insure I don't pick up some more of the bacteria. I just LOVE CHEMO.
