Tired

We have been pretty exhausted after being in the hospital this week. I have not really talked or emailed anyone, so I will have to start up again on the weekend.

We check in again on Monday night, and I hope not one minute earlier. Sebastian's mouth is much better, and he doesn't complain of any pain while eating and when we have to clean it. But last night he started getting a runny nose and is coughing every now and then. Let's just hope that doesn't turn into anything.

It is so warm in the city, that Stella slept most of the day yesterday, and when she was awake, she was grumpy. I hope it's not a scorcher of a summer.

We are still patiently waiting for Sebastian's last bone marrow results. They sent the sample to the lab in Germany, where they do a very exact test called MRD (minimal residual disease). The results of this test, along with the previous values from other similar tests, will determine which treatment arm he follows. I SO hope that he can follow the standard risk arm, because then he would be finished around the end of September with the entire intensive treatment.
