Rituximab

We just got word from Cardiology that Owen starts his Rituximab (chemo) tomorrow. Still not sure of the time, but I'm sitting by the phone. We'll be back at PCH in ICU... hopefully for only a day. Dr. Stock said we'll do a 12 hour drip.. maybe a little less. Then we heard the list of side effect... yucko. I'm hoping to get in and outta there. Pray that things go smoothly, Owen doesn't get sick and he can enjoy his first birthday on Wednesday (at home)!
