tomtedesco was kind enough to PM me to ask about my son's condition. Thank you Tom.
Here is an update:
He has completed 5 of 6 initial chemo treatments. After his fourth treatment he went on short term disability. He was missing so much work that the company encouraged him to do so. With each treatment he gets a little sicker.
The initial reports are that the treatment is working, but we will not know for certain until mid to late June.
In the meantime, his baby was diagnosed with swelling of the brain this week and will be having surgery to correct a problem with fluid not draining properly either tomorrow or Monday. They say it is a fairly common procedure, but it doesn't seem common to us. They spent the day in the ER and she was admitted to the hospital in preparation for the surgery this evening.
His poor wife is dealing with the stress of a husband battling cancer and a baby needing brain surgery. Rhuidean was born on my sons 26th birthday, April 4th.
Thanks for your caring and prayers.
