Orion and just came in from the pediatric oncology clinic at MGH and his white blood cells have soared again to safe levels. Dr. Ebb released us for good on the condition that we get a blood draw back home on Thursday just to be safe before senior week begins at Swarthmore College. So we shall give up our Beacon Hill apartment Tuesday night and head back to the hills of western Massachusetts for a few days before heading down to Swarthmore College for a week of celebrations culminating with Commencement on Sunday the 29th. Dr. Ebb insisted that we return with photographs.
Orion then gets a week of relaxation before he starts Proton Therapy at the Burr Center at Massachusetts General Hospital. Six weeks of protons being smashed into his brain at sixty percent the speed of light. Ouch.
That is the best news ever! Don't over do it during Senior Week and graduation. I hope it's picture perfect.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! Have a wonderful week of celebration! Hope that you get sunshine and mild weather for the graduation!
ReplyDeleteSteve, are you going to join in the Senior Week festivities? It sounds like it! Orion, you are making all of this look easy. Your body always pumps up the good stuff! Enjoy it all!
