No real news yet. We meet with Dr. Wells at 4pm.

Dr. Wells did come by to say he was going to do Luke's LP and that coming back from vacation finding Luke here was not something he expected.  

The LP was done and the PIC is in so we are waiting for Luke to return to his room.  Coming out of the anesthetic it was reported Luke mumbled something about wanting 72 virgins and a coke---that is a soda or a pop for those not in Texas. 

Patrick from the blood bank stopped by this morning.  He summed leukemia up.....its  a disease to which logic does not apply.  Why Luke, why now, we will never have an answer.

Other than the chemo, that was given intrathecal (directly into his spinal fluid) when they did the LP, other drugs have not started.  The first round is expected to start later today after we meet with Dr. Wells.  If the protocol is the same as 2009 Luke will probably be resident at MDA until Friday or Saturday.  

By the way Friday is National Asshat t-shirt day.  Send Luke a picture of you in your shirt @ lucasdnovick@gmail.com

  1. I didn't wait until Friday. I started wearing my t-shirt last Friday! If I can find someone who is willing to photograph me in it, I'll share a photo with you! Love you mucho! Jacquita
