Just a bit

Just a bit about the latest.

We are having a benefit concert for Iva here in Houston at UH Cullen Performance Center on August 2nd at 5 p.m. This is a classical piano concert. This event is only in a couple of weeks so we need as much help as possible with organizing a mass of people to attend. We are aiming for 1500 tickets to be sold. They are $50 each and will be available at the door. More to come, but please tell everyone you know!

Iva went to physical therapy today for an evaluation. They are going to do some strengthening for her legs and such.

She also went to the oncologist, who was her to have a new PICC line in tomorrow and start chemo the next day. The "tumor" in the lung is either dead or was never a tumor to begin with. It is not clear. The spot on the spine is essentially unchanged, which is progress if you look at it properly. The MD Anderson sarcoma specialist who initially evaluated Iva said he would be satisfied if the tumor did not grow. So we are choosing to count this as a victory.

More to come. Kids are crying!
