hi marjorie
claire here.
have taken ian in to hospital today, not feeling too good, spiking a temperature.
Thank you Marjorie : I just sent one.
I'm excited! I was wishing there was a way we could hurry our greeting cards up and get them to him sooner.
Now we can surprise him with a pile of email greetings printed out and delivered on Monday! I'm impressed that the Christie Hospital offers a wonderful service like this!

Hey, everyone! Look what I found on the Christie Hospital site:

We can send e-greetings to Ian!
Volunteers will print them out and deliver them to the patients between 9-5 from M-F.
You have to select the proper Ward. I am guessing that "ALU" on the pull-down menu stands for Adult Leukaemia Unit, so I used that.

BTT!
read why now!
(prweb) february 21, 2005 -- many people will remember a famous tv ad where a woman races to her washing machine, fabric softener in hand, only to arrive just as the wash ends.
this woman who "forgot to ad the fabric softener" was actually doing herself and her family a favor.. .
I'm gonna pour myself a glass of chilled DHMO.....yummm!!!
I brew all my tea with DHMO and it hasn't hurt me yet .

Thanks to Lady Lee for changing message #1 in this thread. (Ian was moved from room 3 to room 16 yesterday --- but if you've already sent a card to room 3, don't worry, I am sure the hospital will sort it out.)
I heard from Claire this morning and she was going to be heading to the hospital a little later. It's a long drive across the city to the hospital --- she said it would only be 30-40 minutes if there were no traffic, but since there IS traffic, it takes anywhere from 1 to 2 hours! She was very cheerful about it, though. If she emails an update tonight I will be sure to post it.
I wish we could get the cards there quicker ... I am figuring the U. S. cards will start to arrive towards the end of next week. I'm hoping some of Ian's British friends will have mailed cards by now so he'll have something arriving at the beginning of the week as well.

Hi Marjorie A quick update after coming away this evening. Ian has a blood clot in the vein so has had his line removed (the line has 2 lumens through which chemo and antibiotics are given and blood samples are taken). So they have to insert another one, either through the neck or the groin. (I'm not sure which makes me cringe the most!!!) Anyway they're sorting him out. Also just to say that they had to move him from room 3 to room 16 today. Many many thanks to you and everybody on the board for all your good wishes. I pass them on and they mean so much to Ian. I'll keep you posted Clairexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Here's the latest from Claire. (I told her that a bunch of cards addressed to room 3 will be arriving next week!) Marjorie

if I mail a card tomorrow from the US will it get forwarded to Ian's house if he's not in the hospital by the time it gets there?
Freedomlover ---
I imagine the hospital would forward it, but remember, Ian was anticipating a 3-week stay for this intense chemo and the stem cell treatment.
So let's get the cards going, everyone!

Lets get the mailman hauling sacks of mail for our Ian---ASAP!Annie ---
I second the motion! It sounds as if a bunch of us were able to get cards into the mail this afternoon. Let's keep this thread at the top.
