Update Day 3

The boys came to visit this morning, it was good to see them. I think they were happy to see their mom.

Here is James' take "it was really nice to get to see mom, but all those cords were creepy. I didn't like those"

Alisa has been feeling...sick...the doctors and nurses are happy with the results so far. It is a strange situation. They want Alisa to get sick, but they treat the symptoms so she doesn't feel as sick. They are telling us everything is going as expected

Alisa will get her 7th dose of IL2 at midnight. I think they are hoping to get at least 10 doses in this week.

She also wants me to mention that she has gained 10 pounds (water) and her skin is bright red (side effect of the drugs)

    Thanks for the updates, Josh..I saw Alisa'a mom out walking yesterday and didn't stop to talk to her..she looked so very deep in thought, I didn't want to bug her. You guys are in our prayers, I have talked to Brandon and he wants you to know he's praying for all of you also. Alisa still looks beatiful, amazing! And for that water weight gain..whoa, let her know that Brent gained almost 30 lbs of water immediately post TP and he was so shocked by it..they pulled one of his IV lines and and water was literally spurting out of it.....I suggested they let me poke his toes and he could "drain" that way...try to fund humor wherever you can in this..sounds sick, but that helped us to cope a lot of days.
    Thinking of you guys often through every day. Many prayers coming your way from the Epperson extended family.
