Day Two - Happy 23rd Birthday, Patrick!!!

***He puts the CAN in cancer and the EMO in chemo***

Well, it has been a birthday Patrick won't soon forget. His first gift? His own room (1032 for those visiting). It's much larger than the space he had in the old room, which is good considering the amount of people we packed in today. Friends and family were on hand to help celebrate, including the nursing staff who brought him a cake this afternoon! He's still feeling good physically and mentally and just had a little fatigue today. Not bad! Treatment continued today as it was yesterday and Patrick is certainly getting used to the routine of the hospital. He helps out the nurses when they come in for his vitals and watches his pick line to make sure it doesn't get jammed up and make the IV machine beep like crazy. Surprisingly, it looks like he's going to be a good patient! So, another day down, another day closer to remission!
