[From original email]

Day three was nice and quiet for KD. He just got another dose of chemo, played his guitar for a few hours, and is watching the football game now. He's doing great, and is in great health and spirits. And according to the dozens of people who come in to constantly check on  him, he's responding exactly right to the therapy so far. 

We're still waiting on the DNA test of course to give a better big-picture for recovery, but should know by Friday or Monday on that.

Except for a bit of icky-belly nausea yesterday, KD's got a great appetite ... we all know he loves to eat ... and was almost too full to eat anything by the time I got there tonight. But he did give in when he smelled the scones Loka made, and scarfed down two right away. Which is good since he needs to put on a few pounds in advance for when he's sick later on. Scones will definitely help with that :-) Very yummy!

Thanks for reaching out to him as you can. With the weekend coming, if you want to stop by and visit, maybe give a call ahead of time so we all don't end up there at once? The max number of people allowed in the room is four including him because of the air filter system, and the nurses get quite snippy if they think you're breathing his air :-) They are very protective, and frankly I bet any one of them could kick my butt in two minutes flat, so I wouldn't mess with them...
