Maggie and I are leaving for Birmingham this morning. She will have blood drawn for labs this afternoon and her first infusion/ first day of oral meds will be tomorrow. We’ve been spoiled by the staff at Batson who are able (by virtue of being much smaller) to offer one day service for labs and treatments. Our trips to Birmingham will involve at least one night stay. I will update as soon as possible to let you know how she tolerates this first day of the clinical trial. Thank you in advance for your prayers! We are planning to dash in the polling place and vote on our way. Maggie has requested we go to the Galleria this afternoon when we finish at UAB to get our minds off the election. That’s a better idea than I’ve heard coming from any candidate this year!
