4 More To Go

The spinal tap/chemo went well on Friday. Andrea has only 4 more of those, once a month through December. She has swollen ankles and appears to be retaining water, so we saw the main doctor Monday and he agreed with the pain management doctor to drop a medicine to see if that is the reason. Otherwise, she is feeling okay now, thank goodness!
The brain MRI was good, spinal tap fluid clear and bone marrow is 100% donor cells. We appreciate everyone's encouragement. It has been such a long process, and we are beginning to look forward to fall and cooler weather since we've been having a good dose of rain.

I am happy to hear that things are going well. We are having a lot of rain here too. Cooler weather will make Andrea feel better. We think of you each day and wishing for better days ahead for you.
Lots of Love Dan and Peggy

So glad to hear things are coming along after the minor set back. Hope you guys are doing well; know that you are always in our thoughts. Oh, and we need to meet that cute little puppy! If you ever need someone to watch him...well, you know where we are.
