Luke had a long day today. Right now he is on the couch watching the TV.

The day stated with a 6 AM departure for MDA and he arrived home just after 3 PM. Today's labs showed everything to be moving in the expected direction. After labs Luke got the second injection of chemo into his spine and then received more chemo via an IV.

Luke returned home dragging but hungry. The only problem with getting the tall skinny one nourishment was that our power went out around 4pm and did not come on until 8:30. We found out that a gas grill can do a pretty good job heating a casserole.

So far Luke is having no problems with the chemo. He has not had any of the adverse reactions that he had following the first round.

We are hoping Luke will be up for visitors over the weekend. If you have the time to stop by give the house (or his parents) a call and we will let you know if he is up to it. I have to repeat it, the comments to the blog and prayer site are read several times a day and are very much appreciated.
