Frustrating Day

After a very long and frustrating series of phone calls, we finally got a referral to the Stanford Hospital bone marrow transplant service. Tomorrow, Wednesday, we should know when Adrienne's appointment is, hopefully next week. Our goal is to proceed with further treatment (either donor lymphocyte infusions or cytokine-induced killer cells) as soon as possible so any side effects can be treated before Adrienne goes away to college at the end of August. We want to ensure that nothing stands in the way of Adrienne going away.

This weekend, we are off to Humbolt for the Avenue of the Giants 1/2 marathon. Adrienne won't be doing the race but will greet all of the runners and walkers when they finish their event at the Team In Training table. She loves doing that kind of thing. We'll return home Monday afternoon.

Daniel has his junior prom this weekend. He decided just a few days ago to go "stag" so we've been running around getting his suit dry cleaned, a new shirt and tie, and so on. Since Adrienne and I won't be here Saturday night, he's going to dress up for us on Friday night so we can take pictures. He looks very handsome in his suit, as he does in whatever he wears.

Curt's nose looks amazingly good after having the skin cancer removed and skin grafts in its place. He needs to be extra careful in the sun from now on.
