Already started yo. Been working at a proper job for a week already.

One of the guys who started at the same time as me asked where I was today on Facebook. Apparently they were missing my ability to be awesome at doing things :D

Also here's a really rough guitar-demo of the song I'm most proud of writing

Some timing problems and stuff, but I threw it together in 10 minutes so *shrug*

I wish I were a rich, I would donate millions to help Children's Hospital do what it is they do. These people here are fantastic.

Jaidyn has been moved out of ICU, well she was yesterday. She's in her own room in the cancer treatment ward. She's doing very well and responding to the treatment with excellent results. The doctors say we're out of the clear with her tumor and it has shrunk enough now to feel safe enough to allow her to do normal things while she's getting her treatments. I'm still waiting on the latest xray results to see just how much the mass has shrunk. Last time I saw it, which was last Friday, it had reduced approximately 30%. They say that if things remain as they are, she should be able to go home Friday.

Hopefully ma band will actually get around to getting a drummer and doing stuff at some point, I WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED. I'm half-tempted to just walk around Manchester with the other guys and asking random people if they're drummers. It might work.

And the date thing was just me being lazy with Bandcamp >_>

Final update for a little while, and again. Thanks everyone for the kind words.

We're going home today! The tumor in her chest is completely gone. Its truly amazing what modern medicine can do, but they successfully eradicated the tumor. The leukemia is still real, but thankfully she's responding very well to the chemotherapy. They tested her bone marrow and did a lumbar puncture and where they were expecting approximately 5% leukemia cells, they found 2%, which is very good. In other words, if they looked at 100 cells, only 2 of them were leukemia as opposed to her baseline where approximately 80% were leukemia when she got in here. She's a fighter.

We still have about 3 years of treatments, maintenance and other things until we can completely put this behind us, but we're in the clear and out of immediate danger. She'll still have a weakened immune system due to the chemo, she will lose her hair and all the other things that come along with it, but at least I'll have my little girl beside me. She is supposed to outlive me and it appears that the lovely people at Phoenix Children's Hospital have allowed me that comfort.
