08/30/10 Monday: I am new to this “blog” stuff. I believe that I can add “pages” for each new update. Please bear with me as I experiment.

Some of you have inquired about the details of Jen’s treatment. Aside from the weekly trips on Tuesday to NYC, Jen will be receiving a daily regiment of 20 or so pills daily. The Sloan Kettering satellite office in Basking Ridge can be used for blood tests and other small treatments; however, not for the weekly treatments. From what we know, Dr. Moskowitz (NYC) is the best in this area and we will stay the course.

Some people have asked about donating blood for Jenny should she need a transfusion (that has been mentioned as a possibility for this week). Jenny’s blood type is O Negative which is the universal donor blood type. The flip side is she can only received O Negative blood.

We had some personal drama at home last night which has unfortunately increased our apprehension. Though not directly related to Jenny’s condition, in nevertheless is troubling. But I am told “God does not throw anything at you that you cannot handle”. Makes you question one’s faith…

We got Katie off to school today. She drove that car onto the ferry with a broad grin on her face. A real champ with a 5-speed standard transmission! She gave us a call when she got to school and all moved in. This is a relief to both Jen and I.

Tomorrow will be a long day for us. Alan will be meeting is at MSK around 11:30. This is a start of a very long journey for the whole family. More to come.
