Update # 52

Left Riverside at 6 a.m. for a drive to CHLA.  They had an opening for a
MRI  etc.  this a.m.  Arrived at CHLA about 8:50,  now we wait to get in.

Getting in the car and starting the drive back to Riverside at 1:00 p.m.
Ethan's mood is better, but he is so tired.  They will review today's results and that
will be a large part of our Wednesday visit.  Ethan usually has lab work each
Wednesday and a team meeting monthly.  Last Wednesday,  the 4th,  was our regular
team meeting. We will have another on Sept.  11th.

Thanks to all for your thoughts, prayers, and support.  And a special thank you to
Tom and Karen,  hope you realize how special your friendship is to us !

Afternoon update to update

Ethan's doctor called and said - yes there is some swelling but not sure of
the cause yet.  Keep an eye on him, and allow him to have as normal a week-end
as he wants.  See you all on Wednesday.  Good week-end news !  Ethan is
actually better today than he was last Wednesday - go figure.   Thanks again to
all of you for the positive thoughts and prayers.
