Another Week Gone

Well, we've made it through another week of arsenic. We've even survived another methotrexate injection. We're making progress with Tim's medication. The palliative care specialist has given us an entire range of dosing levels for Tim's pain medication to take care of everything from mild pain to horrible awful pain. So we're pretty stable for the moment. Now we just hope that all the chemotherapy is doing its job.

Northwestern Memorial has begun the process of getting approval for the stem cell transplant. There appears to be some confusion about whether or not the insurance company will cover the cost of typing Julie and Amy, Tim's two candidate donors. Hopefully, this will all be straightened out soon. Unfortunately, it probably won't be fixed before Julie leaves us next week.
