Lucky Day - 7

So far so good. Aside from being tired with a mild headache, Clof and I are getting along famously so far (it's the NYC connection). I was able to get another pass overnight yesterday, and even managed to stop by to see Davis and Jack on their actual birthday. The Unit 57 physiotherapist came by yesterday to go through all the (pages and pages) exercises I am to do, but the running around after the 2-year old twins in the backyard sun last night was far more interesting and effective!

I've included another photo today, and thought I'd show you what my real hair looks like, before it falls out next week! It's thickened up a bit since I've had a short break from chemo in the past couple months, but I had it cut nice and short so it's easier when it falls out. I am getting my third dose of Clofarabine right now, and will hope to continue feeling well for at least another day...we'll see!

Sunny Day -8

A quick note just to let you know that Day -9 went very well. My infusion of Clofarabine was fairly uneventful. I saw the doctors, had my top stitch on my central line removed and was given an overnight pass - awesome to sleep in my own bed for another night! I'm back in my room at 57 now, so we'll see what my blood counts are and how I feel after round 2 with Clof...maybe I can manage another overnight pass! Thanks for all the messages, prayers and energy - I feel great!
