Tuesday Morning
Judah has been running high blood pressure for more than the last hour. His pressure reads around 180/80. We're waiting for Dr. Forman to come in and make his rounds. Hopefully we'll know how Judah is doing after we talk to him.
This is a place for friends and family to read about Judah's progress with cancer therapies for Hodgkin's Lymphoma. We can't always get to the phone, but we do get your messages and are comforted by your support and good wishes.

Dear Ben -
You write really well. Just a few short sentences and I could envision you hiding while the Pastor sang.
But then, I tried to imagine a 6'5" tall elf trying to hide behind a table lamp and it just doesn't fly.
As to Judah's high blood pressure - he is on so much powerful medication that it is no wonder that his system undergoes wide swings.
Does everyone know what meds he is on before prescribing another? Have all the meds which should have been ceased, in fact, been stopped?
Hang tough everybody.
Love, Uncle Robby

My prayers and thoughts are with you all day.

Your story reminds me that every great song has a prayer in it -- for love, for companionship, for health, for peace, for joy, may all of these come to Judah and all the White family.

Dear White Family -
Thank you for your strength and quick updates to this blog. I'm now checking this more than EBay, which now doubt has left my employers's IT people confused. Thanks so much for being there for Judah. It is inspiring to see that such a very special person is surrounded by so much love. I'm sorry to be so far away, but am watching and praying (or something that is remarkably close to praying).

Benj, let me add my thanks to you for creating and faithfully updating this blog, under all conditions, and allowing your scattered loved ones to stay connected to you, Martha, Issy and Judah during this profound journey.
Having been offline since Friday morning, reading your account of the last four days sent me into a state of emotional fast forward in which I'm still looking for the brakes. For you guys, of course, there are no brakes--just the hope that the direction is the right one, more often than not.
All of you are in our thoughts, our hearts, and our prayers.
