All My Apologies!

I have been remiss in not giving you all an update. After Orion's labs came back with normal blood counts including white and platelets AND AFP and HcG, we were released from staying in Boston to be near MGH. We gave up our home on Beacon Hill for the last four months of chemotherapy and high-tailed it home to western Mass. A few days of rest and he had another blood sample drawn which also showed that he was now ready for Swarthmore Commencement.

We drove down to the campus where we were met by Orion's beautiful girlfriend Jen, also a physics major, and also going on to a PhD program. She announced that SHE was now going to care for Orion and that Sally and I could take a vacation.

We are doing just that and having a wonderful time. We will get involved with graduation activities starting Friday night. We have seen him for a few moments in the last few days and he looks very happy and healthy, true to Jen's care.
