The last few days have been a little bumpy. The nausea kicked in on Monday and Alex struggled to take his meds. The jaw pain caused him to have headaches as well.

Tuesday was better and Alex actually ventured out of the house for a little fresh air. The weather, though chilly compared to HK, has been absolutely beautiful. The fall leaves are incredibly vibrant with their yellow, orange and red hues.

Wednesday he walked around the campus of BYU and was excited about the prospect of being a student there next year. He is still working on his application, hoping to get that done soon.

The great thing is Alex has had a hearty appetite and has no problems sleeping. Tomorrow (Thursday) we go back for more chemo including another lumbar puncture. He is so tough he told them he would not need to be sedated for the LP. I think it's because he doesn't want to fast before the procedure!

We miss all of our friends so much but love the technology that keeps us all connected.
