Sunday, June 18th, 2006Happy Father’s Day! It’s four in the morning before Father’s Day but I can’t sleep so I thought I’d get up and wish all dads a happy day. To Neil, who is the dad at every party that is out there wrestling with the kids or playing tag, using his every other Friday off to […]

Friday, June 9th, 2006I’ve always thought of myself as a pacifist. It turns out that I’m quite bloodthirsty when it comes to five year-old karate tournaments. Sammy did great in his first tournament. He beat the first two guys and barely lost to the third boy who ended up in the finals. The third little boy he fought […]

Thursday, May 25th, 2006Happy Memorial Day weekend and I’m sorry for the long silence. No news is good news! Hope you all like the new website – the facelift was much needed and we are extremely grateful to Mike Lin, Ngan Ngo, and Deborah Teagle at BAE for working so hard to fix it up for the extremely […]

Saturday, April 15th, 2006Happy Easter Eve! Sorry to leave everyone waiting. The good news is that both the CT and the MIBG were clear. The spot we were worried about has shrunk (I haven’t read the report yet so don’t have exact details) but Dr. Bolotin told Neil that the radiologist even went so far as to say […]

Wednesday, April 12th, 2006Ah Picasso Schmicasso, Ansel Adams Shmansel Shmadems! The most beautiful image in the world to me is Sammy’s little body up on that bone scan screen with the skeleton showing nothing lighting up but the growth plates! One down four to go. Here is the official report on the bone scan: HISTORY:Â The patient is a […]

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006We are getting ready to leave for Australia and the kids are very excited. We had dinner with our fantastic Make-a-Wish wish granter, Renee, last night and she presented us with our flight information, a list of fun things to do and the information on the house on the beach they are renting for us. […]

Thursday, March 9th, 2006We met with our two doctors separately yesterday and talked about all possible scenarios. We came to the conclusion that we are going to wait for the next round of scans. I’ve just set them up with for the week of April 10th. It’ll be three days after we get back from Australia and when […]

Monday, March 6th, 2006We were due to start chemo again yesterday but Sam’s platelets are only at 44 so we can’t start until next week. This is a good thing in that it gives him another week of feeling good, eating, and going to school. It’s a little nerve-wracking though because he’s been complaining of leg pain lately. […]

Thursday, March 2nd, 2006Sammy’s PET Scan lit up in the same place that the CT scan lit up – a mass around the adrenal gland area. It has been there since the CT scan last July after surgery. It was classified then by the San Diego radiology team as “consistent with a post operative seroma rather than a […]
