First day of chemo, still doing well

Hospital day #5.

On a day when you might expect to find Bonnie nauseous and vomiting, she was neither, and looked even better than yesterday. She had a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) -- to test for signs of leukemia in the spinal fluid -- and the procedure went well, too. She also had a bone marrow biopsy. She kept herself distracted by talking on the phone to Michael.

Bonnie is on steroids, and in a sure sign that she is not nauseous, she ate a whole box of Snackables. Two bowls of cereal for breakfast, too. She also discovered UCSF now has a concierge service which delivered her a latte from across the street.

Tomorrow the nanny is bringing Isabel and Devon up to visit Bonnie. Should be a good day.
