Bob just got home a little while ago, after receiving his Rituxan infusion. They gave him Benadryl and steroids by IV first to help reduce side effects from the infusion. It was a 5 1/2 hour infusion but he tolerated it very well. They purposely did a slow infusion to avoid side effects, it does however have long lasting effects, the number one concern is the inability for him to fight off infections. It will be awhile before we know if it worked, but it did before and this is a much higher dose so hopefully it will bring the Churg Strauss under control and help his lungs to function better.
Thank you everyone for your prayers. God is so faithful and we trust in His sovereignty. Our times are in His hands. No better place to be!!!

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. " Hebrews 10:23-25
