No News is Good News

It's been a few days since I last updated, but that is mainly because there isn't much of anything to report. And that's a good thing! And speaking of good news, the results from Monday's spinal tap have come back and there is NO Leukemia in dad's spinal fluid. Great news!

Dad finished the three days of blast chemotherapy and today is his last day of receiving Cytarabine. His main side effect at this point is exhaustion, which is obviously to be expected. The doctors have warned him it will likely get worse before it gets better, but he can do it!

Amy has been experimenting with her new culinary specialty: Cooking for Chemo. She's prepared a variety of healthy food for dad and he's found a new favorite in quinoa. The nurses on dad's floor agree that he's eating the best food in the hospital.

Thanks for your continued support.
