Hey it's John. We are back at it again here in Durham. I came up yesterday just in time to watch the leaders tee off at the Masters. Great fun watching Bubba pull off the unprobable win.
Eliza has been giving me my neupogen shots (to boost my cell count) since last Thursday. The first few were a little rough but we got the hang of it. Thx babe!
Today was my first day on the apheresis machine. 7 hrs later we had a large bag of stem cells that Burns will get tomorrow. He had his last round of chemo (radiation) this afternoon. He and Laura both look great and are nothing but positive.
Mom fixed us all a wonderful dinner and we are all hoping someone gets up and goes to bed so we can do so ourselves.
Thanks again for ALL the great emails and posts. Burns' will to live a longer life with Laura is so strong. I'm just lucky to be able to lend them a hand.
Good night!
Hey, it's Suzy Cashwell and I'm speaking with your cousin Mary Jane on the phone. She can't seem to get into the blog, so I did so we could send you all lots of love, prayers, and good wishes for a speedy recovery. You're never far from our thoughts, and we will keep in touch. Call if you need us - MJ's # is best.
ReplyDeleteDay I of the major championship. Burns is the champion and John his caddie. Hope your trip out of the woods goes as smoothly as Bubba's did. Your fans are cheering you on every step of the way. Love the blog, keep it coming.
