We took Vincent to the doctor Friday – a day off for me but not for the doctor – as Vincent was worried that an infection had attacked his foot – and the doctor did indeed prescribe an antibiotic. We also learned over the last week that Stephanie’s mother has gotten back lab results suggesting that the tumor in her liver has stabilized in the face of anticancer treatment (it had been shrinking). The good news is it’s not growing and Nancy may be able to cut back on chemotherapy treatment (regular treatment but less frequent). Since treatment has triggered unpleasant side effects and is generally exhausting, this will be a nice change. We’ve heard from my brother-in-law Serge’s cousins that Penny, Serge, and Jacob (who are staying with them) did indeed arrive safely in Paris earlier this week. On their second day, Penny e-mailed, they got up late but did something Jacob had been itching to do – go up into the Eiffel Tower and see the tower and Paris by night (pictured above from the tower). Later they’ll go on to Brittany, the area near Lyons where Serge’s parents live, and perhaps the French Alps. Safe travels.
