I forgot to mention something exciting in the last post! Joe's been improving physically, and he's made so much progress that he's been able to lose the eye patch and go back to binocular vision! YAY! It seems the chemo might not being killing his hair follicles anymore, cause he's covered with fuzz on top and he's getting quite a beard. The nursing staff has taken to calling him Grizzly Adams.
He's complained of being very lonely in the day, so if you're available during the day please try to drop by. Also, don't forget to place your Pampered Chef order soon! You only have about a week left!
Joe has stage 4 large cell lymphoma. Here's where you can keep updated on Joe's condition. We'll be updating as much as possible. Go to the very first entry if you have no idea what's going on. All supportive comments will be printed out for Joe to read, so support to your heart's content! Be sure to read the side bar if you'd like to know how you can help, or come on down to room 4210 and help through socializing!
Blood welcome!
If you'd like to help lower Joe's hospital bill, you can donate blood or platelets for him. Go to Carter Blood Care, and ask to fill out a replacement credit form. You'll need to make it out for Joseph Quinton at Denton Presbyterian Hospital. You'll also need his home address, 10608 Sunrise Circle, Argyle TX 76226. (They'll be other things on the form, but you only need to fillin those three.) You don't need to be the same type, and remember that if you donate platelets you can do it every 2 weeks rather than every 6 weeks like for whole blood. Thanks!
Donations welcome!
Joe can't work while he's in the hospital, and he's uninsured, so he welcomes any help you wish to provide. In Roanoke, drop by Chang Lee's Tae Kwon Do or The Blue Hanger Cafe (I recommend the Chicken Chipotle Salad). If you'd like to send a check, mail it to the address in the blood drive box, and if you'd like to deposit directly to our account, send an email to margie_vi@yahoo.com for info. Thanks so much!
