Update: October 29, 2010

Today the plasmapheresis procedure was performed on Boo-D. The procedure started at 1pm and ended around 4:30pm. Soon after it was finished, his oncologist visited him and she told Nona that Boo-D was doing good and there were no complications. He was later returned to the room where he had the following visitors: Nancy and Mark Eiser (family friends), Christina Rosario (niece), Guenevere and Johnny Spiller (daughter and son-in-law), and Jeffrey Terashima (nephew).

It appears he is a bit more aware and able to carry a short conversation. Compared to the last few weeks where he would be just repeating a phrase or one word over and over for 10-15 minutes this appears to be a good sign that the plasmapheresis procedure has succeeded. We will probably know in the next few days for sure.

Thank you again for your continued prayers and support for Boo-D. Our family greatly appreciates it.
