Evening Greetings from Erin

Good evening family and friends, today has been a long day for our Judd but you all should be happy to know that at this moment he is sleeping peacefully. Judd underwent three procedures today. The first at about ten o'clock this morning was a second bone marrow biopsy. Not too difficult for Judd but let's be honest who really wants to get a bone marrow biopsy done at all. Around noon he received two forms of intense chemo via IV. And if that doesn't sound like fun enough he rounded out the afternoon with a spinal tap and chemo admistered intrathecally (through a hole in his spine.) He was able to be a little "drugged" for certain parts of the day which allowed him to get a few relaxing naps in between procedures. He is experiencing some side effects from the chemo but the fantastic staff here at the Huntsman Cancer "sanctuary" has been able to make him comfortable.
I'm not giving you all of the gory details to tug at your heart strings but just to give everyone a realistic view of what our darling Judd is experiencing. He is still smiling and feeling grounded. You won't be surprised to know that throughout the day there was always a classic "Judd" touch-- namely grooving to a little Bob Marley along with his spinal tap, enjoying some fantastic Thai food with his family in the evening, getting kisses from his eight month old neice and falling to sleep with George Winston's "December" playing in the background. His heart was so full of gratitude today and he could feel everyone's love.
Thank you all for you prayers and positive energy.

My mother wants to fly you to New York because she knows a good doctor here. I assured her you were well taken care of.
