Weekend Report

Just a quick weekend report. Parrish is doing well. He has the high dose chemo today, tomorrow and Monday. Then, he has two more doses of Cytoxan and Etoposide (two other chemos) on Tuesday and Wednesday. This part of the treatment is typically done outpatient, so they really don't anticipate many side effects right now. The bad part should come mid- to end of week next week. He is just hanging out and watching a lot of the British Open this weekend. Could be worse, I guess.

Ivey has had a hard day (a really hard day, which translates into a hard day for all of us). I think he just needs to see where Parrish is and that he is okay. So, I ended up bringing him up to the BMT unit to visit Parrish. Right now, they are eating chocolate chip cookies, and Ivey is dancing for us. I am praying that this visit will give Ivey some peace. There might not be another opportunity for one before things get bad, so we sort of felt like it was now or never. I have no idea if this is the right or wrong thing to do. Just trying to trust my mother's instinct that this is right for right now.

Hopes and prayers for a peaceful and happy weekend for everyone!

Much love,

Molly
