Yesterday the sun appeared in Seattle after a period of record rainfall, and Mom gave the JC Virus its first taste of Cytarabine. It felt to us like a turning point.
Mom receives the drug at 2 PM daily until Monday, November 20th. No side effects so far.
Our valiant Hero is gathering strength for the fight of her life. No one has proven herself better equipped than Mom to prevail under such circumstances. Still, I pray for her.
On a lighter note, Mom wants readers to know that "scootch" is the most commonly used word at UW Medical Center. It's a verb meaning to shift or slide one's keister (to the center of the hospital bed).

Dear Kay and Andrew,
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. We'll sing a little Schubert for you at home in Florida this evening - "An die Musik".
With love,
Bill & Evelyn
Hi Kay,
You are one of the bravest, most inspiring people we know. UW has a great hospital and you are obviously getting wonderful care, but we can't wait to see you back in Bellingham. Only a unique person like you could come up with such a rare disease, which simply means it will take you a little longer to recover.
Love,
Jan and Vicki
