Jim and I
flew to Salt Lake City early Friday. We attended the annual Johnston extended
family pre-Thanksgiving dinner for the first time. Sunday night we drove to
Shelley, Idaho, where we met with the Alan M. Cannon Reunion 2015 committee.
Today we’re enjoying a very quiet day in Charlotte’s house on the Snake River.
Dusk has fallen and the deciduous trees are bare. There’s a smattering of snow
on the grass.
David and
R’el are on the New York State Thruway, headed for Chicago to spend
Thanksgiving with Matt and Annie, and have Thanksgiving dinner with Charlotte
at her 11th floor Hyde Park apartment. (Hyde Park is the
neighborhood of the University of Chicago, on the south side of the city. Jim
grew up around the corner from her current home.)
The bone marrow biopsy on Thursday
revealed an increase in blasts from 28 days ago: the cabozantinib clinical
trial didn’t work. (Dang! Just when I’d learned to spell it confidently.) David
will start a 5-day round of chemotherapy on Monday. It can be administered outpatient;
we’ll learn more on Monday.
David, Jim, and I gave talks in the
Arlington Ward sacrament meeting a week ago. The topics were family and
spirituality. I’ll post mine today and Jim’s tomorrow.
