Just a quick note to say that Dayssi is hanging in there. Jim and I are teaching 6-hours a day this week, until Friday, with a few hours off in between to fight fires, but it doesn't leave time for much else.
We are in our third week of delayed intensification already -- next Tuesday Dayssi goes off chemo for a week. She has tolerated everything very well so far, no complications, no surprises, but she is really wiped out. Her little body is so weary, but her big ole' spirit is indomitable. These big long doses of steroids are really tough.
Although Dayssi won't receive any chemo, we were told that we have a 50% chance of being admitted to the hospital in the next week or two, which is when her body will receive the full impact of the past three weeks. Yikes. So we'll be laying low for a while.
