| Beautiful fountain at MDA |
It bled pretty good, Yvonne took the keys and I held a paper towel on the way to MDA, thank God it turned out to be just a bruise and cut that looks bad but is probably not a major concern. I am waiting for more tests including a bone marrow biopsy and will know what the Doctor wants to do this afternoon... what a day! I will update my blog later as time allows. This medical center is like a big city, it is unbelievable. The people providing care are all very kind, so far so good.
... Hey there, 02-17-2012 now... We didn't get back to our hotel until 7:30 local time, then had to use our time to book a side trip to San Diego to see Dad. We are traveling Saturday-Wednesday next week. That of course means I won't be at MDA until next Thursday. One day (2-16) at MDA was long, I discovered that I have to undergo additional testing (a lot) next week to see if I qualify for one of two clinical trials. Both trials are basically for the same drug, a notch inhibitor one a pill, the other is via I.V. It is also possible that I have improved or the last chemo worked, the additional testing will determine a lot but I won't know all of the answers for probably two more weeks. I do know that if I qualify we will need to be in Houston for four to six weeks. A little overwhelming, but doable. We are trying to take care of future potential logistics today, a lot to do. Have a great weekend, Live Happy!

Praying for Dad that the by pass will go smoothly, and that he'll make a full recovery
Glad to hear you made it to MD Anderson and are finding good people. Sounds like a big place. Sorry to hear about your head--take it easy! And we are tripling the prayers and hoping Dad's surgery goes well and he is feeling good and strong again. Get some rest and let them take care of you. We are keeping our fingers crossed all around.
lots of love,
Mary D.
Greg,
We're with you. You can't write this stuff. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your dad. Reference your bump on the head... What... you forgot you're tall? Let us kown what you need.
See you March 25th at the big climb
Capt. Ron
Capt. X thinks Capt. Ron should send Greg a set of DMT gear to protect him while walking around. Helmet, shoulder and chest pads, forearm and shin pads, and just to be safe, a cup. You never know, right?
Hope things go smoothly at MD Anderson and for your pop.
LiveSTRONG!
Wow, I hope that this post finds things a bit better. I hope your head is okay. Please know that we continue to pray hard that Houston is a go! We will also keep your dad in our prayers as well. Much love.

Hey 5-0 (E),
Thanks for posting! Lots of your peeps wanting to know how you're doing!
Lots of thoughts with you!
I just got to the comments, a big thank you folks! I am working on being more careful around all objects, they find me! Maybe San Diego weather will be better than Houston, we got Seattle+10 degrees since we've been here.
You have certainly covered lots of ground in the past week or so and never a dull moment! Hope your head feels better (ouch) and your health continues to improve and all of the testing you endure is as painless as possible. We send our wishes for a full recovery to your father and we will include him in our prayers. Take care, travel safe! All of the ECC

Greg, When it rains it pours, quite literally for you. Hang in there. Greet your Dad for us. We will try to contact Alice. Dan and Sharon
Give Dad a huge hug for me! I wish I could be there, darn this ALS! Lots of prayers for a good surgery and full recovery. They do amazing things with cardio now.
Anyway give him my love
Cathy
We had a nice visit, Dad and Alice were in good spirits. We are going out to dinner with Alice tonight, maybe a greasy burger at 5 guys? Or a waffle and fried chicken dinner at the all night place. Or a healthy salad...
I'm glad you could be there. Everything will work out fine.
Love, Cathy
Dad Dymerski has been moved to critical care unit since there was room in the inn. This is where he will be after surgery tomorrow if it is a go in the afternoon. He does not have a phone at this time.
This is from Yvonne and Greg
Prayers
Thanks for the update. A lot of people up here praying for Dad.
Thinking about the Dymerski family today - hoping all goes well.
Kevin, Edie, & Family
