Infusion starts tomorrow

We toured the infusion center today, only 5 minutes from home. We'll be there 5 hours tomorrow (Wednesday), then home with a 46 hour pump, then off for 12 days. I have determined, through my amazing powers to see into the future, there will be no side effects and that leisa will be doing squat-thrusts (with a push up) next week.

Leisa is still a little slow on her feet as she tapers of oxycontin. Improving every day. Uncertainty of tomorrow has her a little nervous but, once again, drugs have come to the rescue. No reason to suffer pain or anxiety at a time like this.

Please call me (301-537-7236 cell) before visiting the next few days. I would hate to turn anyone away at the door like a big-old meanie, especially in view of the huge kindness we've received from everyone.

Still working on who will pay for the drugs. Not as expensive as originally reported but it would be nice if the Archdiocese, who carries our insurance, would step forward to pay for treatment for one of its more devoted members. The manufacturer of one of the drugs has agreed to provide "drug replacement", their term for free drugs. That leaves about $2K per treatment which will not break the bank.

Much love to everyone,

Jeff
