Greetings from asshat central. The highlight of Luke's weekend was the arrival of his sister Kate, home on spring break, and his belongings from U of Miami hitting the driveway. Both sister and possessions arrived within an hour of one another.

Luke received many cards and letters during the week. The most unique were the "Asshat" and "Go Luke" M&M's from his Aunt Sherry and Uncle PJ (to our knowledge M&Ms of this design are not available in local stores - if you have a chance come by and enjoy a few while they last).



Physically Luke is hanging in there. Chemo has started taking a toll, he's tired and witout taking steroids his appetite has all but disappeared. We have not found any menu item that he has had an enthusiastic response to.

He finally gave up on the mowhawk and opted for a buzz. It looks like the chemo took care of all his dark facial hair as now his beard is quite red in color.

We are watching a lot of movies. Luke took a break from model building for a while but is now attacking with a renewed interest. To date he has finished two airplanes and a tank.

Enid and Terrance from U of Miami are rumored to be taking a spring break road trip to Houston, Luke is looking forward to the visit!

His next clinic appointment is scheduled for Wednesday, at this visit we will see what his blood work numbers look like and this will determine whether he will need a transfusion.

Everyone take care, thank you for your continued support.

  2. Luke - I can't believe that Gossip Girl stoled your word "Asshat". I had to rewind and hear it a second time. Hope all is well. Meg will be here in 2 days!

  3. Hi, honey! Was happy to receive a report of the beginning of your consolidation phase and can only concur with PJ and Sherry, "GO LUKE!" Yes, I'm yelling! I'll keep yelling until there is no need to do so!

    XOXOXOXOXOXO
    Love you mucho
