Admitted, with a bit of good news
Posted 3 hours ago
Jenny just called and said Poppy has been admitted to Park West and is in Room 523. He can have two visitors at a time.
The bit of good news is that Poppy has a form of leukemia that may not keep him in the hospital as long as first expected. He has acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). You can find out more with a Google, or go here:

As I understand it, chemo treatments will begin tomorrow at 9am. He will receive two treatments per day (9am and 9pm) over the next 3 days (Tue-Thur) and then get a bit of a break before they start a drip on Friday. Throughout the treatments, they will be doing spinal taps periodically (8 total) as a necessary precaution.
