Today is Adrienne's 21st birthday, one of those special days for everyone, but even more special in her case. Tonight we're going to do a bit of eating, drinking, and gambling, which is sure to be fun. Tomorrow is Daniel's birthday but he has to wait a year for his drinking and gambling.
Wow, what a week. After the elation of the scans on Wednesday, we got a call on Thursday saying that Adrienne had to stop the MGCD until she has an echo (an ultrasound of the heart) and gets approval to proceed from the drug company. She had the echo today and everything is fine, as we expected. In fact, her cardiac function looks even better than it did on her echo last fall. She started her third cycle of the Vidaza today and should be able to resume the MGCD on Friday.
Daniel got a dog, a miniature Australian Shepherd, in Santa Barbara. He named him Herbert after my dad. We thought it was quite funny and wondered how my dad would have felt, but Daniel means it as the highest compliment. Since Adrienne is staying here for the fall semester, we decided she should have her own dog. Meet Gus, a 10 week old toy poodle who weighs a whopping 2 pounds.

I'm a little behind here, so let me just tell you I CHEERED when I read your last post--I'm so happy that Adrienne has seen such improvement. Such great news, and about time, too.
And I hope Adrienne had a superb birthday--21 is a real milestone. And I hope for more dog stories and pictures!
Hey, I have a gmail account now, so I'm no longer so anonymous . . . but just in case, this is Karen, Clare and Phoebe's mom. I know another Karen posts too.
Just wanted to wish you a belated Happy Birthday Adrienne!
Twenty one is a hell of a year :)
Also wanted to express how excited I am for you and your wonderful family that the clinical trial is working and not causing any other issues through the process.
Here's to this being the best year, yet.
Tons of Love,
B
