July 6th

It is almost 5:30pm and we finally got a room. We got to the hospital at 9:00am for Seth's blood counts but did not have to be back for the admitting till 1:00pm. So Seth and I took the Metro into Inner Harbor and had a fun couple of hours at the Aquarium. Dr. Cohen, Seth's head doctor, decided because of the foot drop that Seth suffers from he is going to take out the Vanchristine chemo totally. Seth is very happy!! I am also happy but a little nervous on how this is going to effect treatment. The doctors say if happens a lot so we are trusting their judgement. One good thing is instead of a 3 week break between chemo treatments he will have a 5 week break since he does not need to go to Johns Hopkins for the outpatient chemo. It looks like Seth will start getting his chemo this evening some time. It is a 6 hour chemo drip and then he needs 12 hours of hydration. Thanks for all the prayers!
