I talked to Mary Beth last night. Rainer will actually get to come home Wednesday. He will still have to go up to Santa Barbara for weekly treatments. Mary Beth seemed very well given the circumstances. She's tired but really positive. They've given Rainer an 85-90% chance for total remission which is fantastic.
Mary Beth said she had a conversation with one of the nurses who said that just 50 years ago if your child was diagnosed with Leukemia, they just sent you home to wait it out. Despite the sometime harms and horridness of the insurance and pharmaceutical industries, THANK GOD FOR MODERN MEDICINE!
This will probably be my last update unless something changes dramatically. Thanks to all who read and those who posted. It's a nice little blogging community and maybe I will try to post more often.
