Tuesday is the New Friday.

Eric is going in on Tuesday, March 16th instead of Friday. They want his lungs and heart to be a little stronger first and they're wiped out from the CHOP. Good news for Eric, he's going to cruise on down to Vegas for the MWC Tournament with his dad and brother.

    Alright, you get to have him at home a little bit longer! And I scheduled a 4 pm on Sunday with Chalyse, so if you aren't going to Vegas too then you'll have to come! Let me know!

Go Big or Go Home.

This week is littered with doctors appointments for Eric. Thankfully Peggy, Eric's mom, is in town for the rest of the week, so she will be here to cart Eric back and forth from Orem to Salt Lake. I, unfortunately, have to continue going to school for the next couple weeks. This is the schedule for next week. Monday : A bone marrow biopsy. Actually two bone marrow biopsies. They will be extracting from both of Eric's hips. He is really not looking forward to this and I don't think anyone can blame him. Wednesday : PT Scan is scheduled. I don't think this will be painful, but I guess we have a lot to learn about all of this. A PT is like a CT Scan except it is your entire body. Thursday : This is the day we've been waiting for for a long time. We will be meeting with Dr. Gilbert and going over everything. By then we will know which type of lymphoma, and which type of chemo they will be doing. We have so many questions and yes, we have been writing them down. Look for...

If You Know Hospitals...

... then you might have suspected how much our plans would change this week. Yesterday Eric went in for the bone marrow biopsy and they decided to keep him overnight and do the PT Scan as well. This was a change of plans we welcomed, despite the fact that I had to stay home while he stayed up there. We are very grateful that they did both procedures yesterday, so that hopefully we will know everything by tomorrow (again, here I am, trying to make plans!). They only biopsied one hip, and the only part that hurt was the needle to numb him, "like a hundred bee stings" I believe he said. Then Peggy and Eric waited in the waiting room until they fixed the scan machine and he was admitted to a room: the exact same room as the one we stayed in over Thanksgiving, in fact. One of the nurses didn't even know he'd left! We have a few updates on the condition of his cancer. First, they have narrowed it down to two types of lymphoma: Hodgkin or PTCL. We are hoping it is Hodgkin, b...

Have you met my friend Bill?

Well, we knew it was coming, but we got all of these bills in the mail today! sigh. Eric has been doing decently well with the chemo. He has had a few symptoms: tired, strange tastes in his mouth, and a little nauseated at times. Not really much more than we have been used to the past few months. The other day we got a big surprise; one of his massive glands has shrunk to almost nothing in size! It is the first time we have seen something get better rather than worse in a long time. We are so happy! This week we had a lot of things happen. First, our heat really stopped working (it hadn't been very great for awhile), so we had to get that taken care of. It's been freezing in Provo as many of you know, but when we felt the heat pouring out of ceiling vents finally today it was like manna from heaven. Our dishwasher is also not working haha! Go figure. We are grateful for a good landlady that is quick to act when we call. A functioning dishwasher is on the way! We also got a new ...
