Just here to share a few positive things. First, Jeff did over a mile in laps today. Major improvement! Second, he actually felt hungry for the first time in two weeks. Third, a couple of markers in his lab work are looking up: white blood cells are detectable again, platelets hit 31, and liver markers (which were temporarily concerning) had a good day. Hoping for more good news tomorrow, and a good night of sleep for Jeff. He’s still very tired and has had a headache persistently, so they did a repeat head CT which showed no change. He has swelling around the brain tumor, which is probably causing the headache. He also has had some vision changes and can’t see very well, which is really annoying because he can’t read or watch TV (if he hasn’t responded to you, this is why). So we are listening to podcasts when he is up to it. He also has had some changes in hearing. So unfortunately, not all good news. But hoping for a bit more improvement tomorrow.

Love,

Arianna
