		<description><![CDATA[...rather than dwell on my problems any more, I thought I'd take this opportunity to update everyone on Edie's condition, especially since it's been awhile (just about a year) since I last posted anything about Edie.

So let's see! Since my last post, Edie started]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I posted a couple of days ago, Edie&#8217;s latest treatment protocol (Velcade + Decadron) seems to be working. Maybe even better than previously thought. Not only has Edie&#8217;s kidney function improve significantly, but her Freelight Chains have dropped dramatically, from 2600 a week ago to 62 now. That&#8217;s still not in the normal range <a href='http://livingwithmcl.com/2011/01/28/its-a-delicate-balancing-act/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems the second go around of Velcade plus Decadron is doing its job on Edie&#8217;s myeloma. After just two treatments, her blood counts are improving, as is her kidney function. So all would seem well again. Unfortunately that is never the case.

And I&#8217;m not just referring to my normal complaints, i.e. shorter days, colder than expected temperatures (44°F this morning), work, and a myriad of other issues I won&#8217;t get into now. It even goes beyond the fact Edie&#8217;s lastest chemo regime (Bendamustine) isn&#8217;t working, and <a href='http://livingwithmcl.com/2010/11/13/carpe-diem/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

Four days she was gone, and it&#8217;s a good thing he found her then, because she was about 5 blocks away, right at a major intersection with lots of traffic.
