DOT -3 (cont.)

It's John posting from Burns' IPad. Not a bad day but a very interesting day. While Burns was doing great with his chemo, out of the blue I had a reaction to my 1:45 neupogen shot. It's hard to explain the feeling, sort of like my body is in major overdrive. A heavy dose of Vicodin helped after about an hour and we are back at "home". I think it scared my parents and I thank both of them for being there this afternoon. Most importantly Burns did really well! His WBC count is down to 2.3 and the nurses are very pleased with his progress. He's definitely tired and the meds are helping with his nausea. Laura's Mom came over today and it was good seeing her. We are all pretty whipped so it will be a short evening for this crew. We knew things were going to get tougher but it's going to have to hit us harder than that to knock us down. I'm leaning on Burns and Laura's strength and they have plenty to go around. Thx again for all the good vibes you guys are sending us. We are getting close.

Eliza is coming up tomorrow. Can't wait to see you babe.
