In Pinetop, AZ

We were supposed to be on vacation this week in Seattle, but airflight was nixed by the oncologist.  Instead this week, I went to work and Heidi spent the week at home.  It was kinda like being a homemaker for her, except with more moping and the impending trips to the hospital still looming.

The latest prediction for the start of chemo is next Tuesday.  So this weekend we're fulfilling our destiny and taking a vacation.  Pinetop is in the mountains in eastern AZ.  We're at 6000 feet,  there are trees, rivers, and mild temperatures.  Very nice.  (Props to the generous neighbors who are letting us stay in their "cabin.")

Not a lot else to say.  I started this blog thinking there would be daily updates of Heidi losing her appetite, losing her hair, etc.  That will start eventually (unfortunately).

The only thing to report is a repeat of last post.  Heidi had the bone marrow extracted again 2 days ago.  She almost received another transfusion yesterday, but the doc decided she was okay for the weekend.  Results from the bone marrow tests should start trickling in on Monday.  Presumably decisions will be made then, resulting in checking in to the hospital Tuesday.

Until then, we are enjoying a relaxing weekend.
