7/22: Finally an Easy Day

Today was a much easier day for Leo. No needles, no pokes, and not too many prods. Just an increase in antineoplaston A10 to 25mL after a successful (negative) blood test through the IV that imaging center left yesterday. He was in a better mood today because I got punched a couple of times. Maybe it's because we're spoiling him with some news toys or maybe he was just feeling better or maybe the visit with Dr. Rao was kept brief, but he smiled and played today. His speech was a little better as well, so we want to believe that everything is moving in the right direction. He's gained quite a bit of weight and is up to about 32 pounds; at the time of diagnosis about a month ago he was around 28 pounds. Doesn't sound like much, but it's almost 15%, which probably contributes to his being tired (as does the brutal Houston heat).

Tomorrow will hopefully be as uneventful. Nothing other than increasing the antineoplastons is on the agena, not even a blood test.
