Saw the Docs at MDA this morning. Blood work looks good! Platelets are up a little and red cells are only down a little. For now no need for a transfusion. Friday will be a big day. Bone marrow and another round of chemo are on the schedule. This will be the first time for bone marrow since he started treatment. Hoping to see a decrease in the number of blast cells in the bone marrow which would be an indication of how well he is responding to chemo.

Took Luke out to lunch Monday (Freebirds) and from there to a book store for some reading material. His friend John came over. They resurrected the K' NIX and assembled the giant ball machine. Stayed busy with the K'NIX until 8 PM. All the activity on Monday extracted a toll as Luke was pretty lame on Tuesday.

Appetite is that of an ogre, he eats anything (meat, vegetables or fruit) and in vast quantities. Three breakfast burritos, juice and melon for breakfast and then had to make an 11 am stop on the way home from MDA as Luke's unquenched, ravishing appetite demanded immediate attention. Hair remains attached, but he said there was a lot in the tub after his soak last night.
