Brenan was finally admitted and moved into a room on the oncology floor last night where he and Jess stayed the night. They have checked his legs for blood clots, luckily none were found, and we are waiting to see an infection specialist to be sure the infection in his foot is being treated properly. He is occasionally running a high fever and the lymph nodes in his neck are fairly swollen.
Brenan's doctors want to begin chemo immediately - hopefully within the next hour. It seems as though the chemo they initially wanted to try is not available right now but they have a secondary option and will most likely administer this chemo while they wait for their first choice. Right now, Brenan's case is considered uncharted territory and doctors are doing their best to try to figure out the best path. More news to come later today - I'm off to the hospital.

Well, leave it to Brenan to try something new and exciting. You never did like to take the easy path did you? Clearly you needed to spend more time with me and Bryan, we always found the easy way out back in high school. Which of course explains our grades, but that's another story.
Hang in there Brenan. We're praying.

Prayers, strength, and lots of love continuing, Sweethearts. Thank you again, Dears, for the blog updates. They mean so much. Wish we could all be there with you, but we are there in spirit, at least. You are all in my thoughts and in my heart all the time these days. Stay strong.
Love to all, Jodi
Hi,
Wish we had the right drugs for you......You are in our thoughts constantly.
Dave and I made it across the mountains today and are about 30 miles NE of Denver. It was slow going thru the mts with snow on the road, but we made it, and are glad to be on this side.
I'm hearing from friends that we (Emily, MN), just got 7-10" of snow. they tell me "don't come home!!!" I heard that it was 78 degrees where you guys are.
Love, Audrey and Dave

Love, Uncle Ran and Aunt Dee
