Back to College

Adrienne is back at Claremont McKenna College with today being the first day of classes. She had to move dorms due to her hip surgery so she would have an elevator rather than stairs. It may take a bit of getting used to but she has a nice big single room on the 4th floor. We spent the last couple of days driving around to get the things she needed and to help her get set up.

The next few days will be quite busy. Adrienne got two classes she wanted and is trying to change the other two. That means she has to go to the old classes and the new classes with a hope of getting in. She's already on the waiting lists so we're keeping our fingers crossed that she has what she wants in a few days. If she can't switch, her classes are fine but she will have very long days on Mondays and Wednesdays and she'd like to spread things out a bit more.

Adrienne is free of doctors for a little while. She will see the oncologist a City of Hope in a few weeks, as well as a cardiologist. We aren't feeling really confident about the advice we are getting from the cardiologist at the children's hospital and have asked for a second opinion. The other item of note is Adrienne's thyroid, which is already showing signs of failing following her radiation. She will probably wind up starting a supplement in the next few months. As you can imagine, she hates taking pills but is down to just a few now, so adding another small one shouldn't be too difficult.
