McClintock's and Those

I had a check-up / lab work this morning with Dr. Limentani. He was very encouraged, saying that I'm definitely responding to the Interferon. The tell-tale rash is not as visible as it was even 4 months ago, even with extra sensitivity from the cold weather. Whoo-hoo!

Rachelle and I have been cautious about the treatment's effectiveness, keeping our hopes in check. We're grateful that it appears the treatments are working and that we've had our first confirmation to that end.

Dr. L is quick to defer to Dr. Foss's judgment and notes that he is not a CTCL expert. However, Dr. Foss did say that I/others would be able to observe the effects. I go see Dr. Foss on November 8. My question for her is if the effects are happening as quickly and as thoroughly as she expected.

Thanks for your prayers.

The "Buds" are getting ready for All Saints Day, which is immediately preceded by All Hallows Eve. Whatever. They're cute.

In case you can't make out some of the details in the pics, here's a guide:
1) Will's shirt says, "I love my Mummy"
2) Will has two front teeth (lower).
3) Anna Scott's attire was picked solely by her and includes a black "Sweet Heart" shirt (the candy corn makes the heart), pink skirt and orange/black tights. Not pictured: purple/pink-ish cowboy boots.

Medical update: Rachelle and I travel back to Yale on November 8 for a check-up with Dr. Foss. We'll evaluate the effectiveness of the latest treatment, to which she may adjust dosage, frequency, or make no changes.

House: No offers yet, which is a bit discouraging, but we're only asking $3.2 million. What a deal.

Holiday: This weekend kicks off the holiday rush for us with Halloween, followed by 3 family birthday parties (including Anna Scott's), Thanksgiving, Aunt Rebekah's wedding (Rachelle's sister), Christmas, followed by 3 more family birthday's in January. (Plus college basketball, college football bowl games.) We may decide to sell our house and move to the Caribbean. :)
