Chemo Day 4 Update

Zoe here!

Look good feel good!

My dad is feeling great, despite the fact that it took the two of us 2.5 hours to drive up to Boston (he was asleep for most of it, so that's probably why he's so chipper...)

Every time the nurses ask for his name, he answers "Brad Pitt," so either he hasn't lost his sense of humor or he's gone completely delusional. He's in his signature red, white and blue track suit and has a steady flow of diet gingerale coming his way, so he is very happy. A lovely hospital volunteer named Susan just came by and offered him a hand massage — things couldn't be better!

Cathy is in town with new baby Bennett, who was VERY excited to meet his Zadie for the first time. He is 8 weeks old and DEFINITELY has a Weiner face. After we leave the hospital we are going to spend the day in Newport as a family — Bennett can't wait to try the clam chowder at the Black Pearl. 

After four days of chemo, my dad feels stronger than ever. He says he really likes his two main doctors — Dr. Steensma at Dana Farber and Dr. Raza at Columbia. Both of them have been incredibly positive about the likelihood of him pulling through this, which is exactly what we all love to hear! Dr. Mukherjee and Dr. Soon-Shiong have been incredible too. 

Here is a photo of the two of us from a few weeks ago at my dad's favorite place on earth: the beach. Right before he started chemo, my brother Richard and I went down to visit our him in Florida for Memorial Day. I can't wait until my dad's better so the two of us can go in the ocean together again (we don't always wear matching bathing suits, I promise!)
