Feeling Better

Adrienne is finally feeling better after her chemo and then being sick with a virus. She had some small fevers after the ER visit on Saturday but none for several days. She's still suffering some cold symptoms but nothing severe. Scans (CT with contrast and PET/CT) are scheduled for the last week in June. Please think positive thoughts.

Adrienne is all scheduled for her donor lymphocyte infusion on or around July 26. On July 5, she and Daniel will have their workup including extensive blood tests. Daniel will donate the cells on July 25. He is quite nervous about the donation since he had a difficult time giving stem cells, but they promise that this is much easier. The biggest obstacle is that he has tiny veins so he required a catheter last time. We hope to avoid that this time.

On July 8, Adrienne and I are going to take a visit to French Canada, Montreal and Quebec. Daniel has work and school during that time, and Curt is busy with his new business so they can't join us. Adrienne will need to stay around here between the DLI and going off to college, so that is the last time we can get away. Luckily, we have lots of frequent flyer miles and hotel points, making the airfare and hotel free for this trip.

Alison and Adrienne, Have a great time in Quebec. It's so nice there. I went there a couple of years ago during July 4th. They have an international Jazz Festival, that's awesome...you also may get the comedians "just for laughs" celebration the second week. You have to try to eat a "beaver tail"... there is no beaver, but I think it's just apple pie. Pretty good.
I think of you both often. Have a great summer. ~jen yen
