We got some good news today– finally. Elwood’s biopsy showed no lymphocytes. The biopsy isn’t 100% accurate, of course, but odds are excellent that Elwood doesn’t have lymphoma. He definitely does have hapatic lipadosis (fatty liver)– but his chances of surviving that illness are 60-70% instead of the 0% he would have faced with lymphoma.
He’s still shorn, slightly groggy, and intubated– but his future looks a little brighter.

(1) Good to hear that Elwood is doing well, safe and sound.
(2) I know it’s not a laughing matter, yet I’m wholly enamored of the feeding tube and forced ice cream regimen. Now that Elwood isn’t using his tube, I’m interested in borrowing it.
