The weekend went pretty well...our marathon Saturday was long. John ended up going to all of the games, and I went home with Eli. The steroids he is on are definitely effecting his mood. I was hoping that they wouldn't effect him until day 4 or 5, but he has been really clingy since day 2. But today is the last day of steroids for this month...yea!! Now we just have to get used to how these moods and stuff go on a month-in, month-out basis.

We will go into the hospital on Wednesday for another MRI. They will take a look at the brain lesions and see if there has been any change. This will also be our baseline as we try the Intrathecal Methotrexate at his next Lumbar Puncture next month. As I have said before, this is a really good drug and we haven't given it to him in the spine(we have substituted another drug) since he seized on Jan 13...so we will try it again now that he isn't on such a tough chemo regimen and see what happens.

John and I have been married 13 years today...WOW. He got his mom to come watch the boys tonight and we went out to Sienna for a nice dinner...YUM.

Thanks for checking in. I will let you know how the MRI goes.

I am thankful for my husband and my marriage. I don't know how someone would go through this without a supportive and wonderful partner...
