Day -2, chemo regimen complete

Another day is over and it was a good one.  While Zevi's blood counts continue to go down, they are still high enough to make him feel well, if tired.  When I saw Zevi in the evening his spirits were up.  We got him bathed (which was not without some drama), mouth rinsed, meds taken.  In mean time Zevi made a new friend, a Russian-speaking volunteer, Edward.  Here they are creating art together.

Tomorrow is "rest day" - which means no chemo, but the start of immune-suppressant drug.

From now on - please do check with us before visiting Zevi.  I am pretty sure the isolation protocols will be changing now.

For the moment, however - another good day and we take it as a blessing.  Thank you to those who have sent cards and gifts.  The support means more than I can express.  As promised, here is the address at Doernbecher:
