Dad made it through his first night! He did well and only had a slight reaction to the treatment. The nurses were on top of it and solved the issue immediately. He is getting little naps in here and there, but is sleeping as well as he can given that he's in a hospital. Mom said that Dad's accomodations are excellent, and he's lucky to be on a brand new floor at the hospital.
I found a link that better describes Dad's treatment and what side effects to expect: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperCVAD
It's definitely an intense treatment, and Dad will have to be extremely careful who and what he's exposed to, but so far, so good!
