Sibling Sonara

Killian felt well enough to mess up his sister's carefully styled hair this morning. She didn't appreciate it, but I guess I kind of did (the eldest child in me no doubt). It's good to see them fighting again. Unfortunately, Killian's pain is still hanging around. I wish it would get a room in town, or a job with the Bush administration or something. He doesn't feel like going to the few in-school classes we scheduled for him. However, Markus did tutor him this morning. I'll have to record some of these tutoring sessions, as these two are hilarious. Markus' Spanish lesson went from nombre medico to wine regions of Spain. So, if Killian falls and breaks his leg in Spain, he'll be able to describe what happened and then ask for a nice wine to go with it. Not sure about Killian going back to school -- we need to see how this treatment goes.

We're hopeful and happy that the VEGF Trap is causing some tumor death already. We're also keeping an eye toward future options. Killian might be in pain, but I have to tell you that he has HUGE fight in him. Below is a link to an article written almost a year ago that is a good summary about sarcomas and the experimental avenues we could be trying.
