Hi Pat...

He will be hospitalized for 24 hrs to be monitored. I don't know if this is typical, but his Dr. recommended it, and said that it would save me from having to worry about the little ones using his bathroom...

They said that the benefits far out way the possible risks...I really trust this team of Drs. Dr. Torti, and Dr. Fried are awesome!!!

Thanks,
Karen

Wow Karen...reading those studies with the drug are kind of alarming...but then most drugs if you read the literature you would probably not take. I'm just wondering the precautions you must take for at least the first l2 hours with the radiation excretion from your husbands body..are you able to have a dedicated bathroom just for him that the children won't be around?
