We have returned from another clinic visit with Dr. Ebb (who visibly gasped when he saw the photo of Orion with the Bacardi Girls) and has released us to home once again. Orion's blood counts were great and every body was grinning. There was talk of papers published and champagne flowing.
Not quite yet.
We made the appointment for orion's last chemo cycle, which is inpatient in the pediatric ward on Ellison 18. While he is there, hooked to tubes of poison he will see the neuro-opthomologist for his double vision, diplopia, and he will begin his prep for the rendezvous with the cyclotron. If you checked in on his new physics blog you might have been amazed at the speed of the protons- 60% of the speed of light!
This weekend is Orion's 22nd birthday.
Happy Birthday to Orion! Another year around the sun. Just one of many to come.
