No medical changes, but there is travel information I thought you might be wondering about.
Sunday night Conan & Gretta drove to Iowa City via Burlington. It made the trip 3 times longer, but they arrived safe and dry. They stayed in Iowa City Sunday and Monday nights with Gretta's sister Jennifer.
I-80 opened back up on Monday afternoon, so Tuesday's drive home was normal. The bridge they used to cross the Mississippi at Burlington has since closed.
In Iowa City, the routes in and out of town are still extremely limited. Today is the first day the hospital is having non-essential staff and patients, so traffic will be unpleasant. The rest of the University is closed to students and staff all week.
They did see both the radiation oncologist and the medical oncologist on Monday and Conan had a plain MRI and a contrast MRI. As I had mentioned earlier, the doctors didn't expect to see much change on the MRI at this time. Everything is looking all right and so treatment will continue as planned.

Hey Conan and Valerie,
Just want to send our love to you and let you know we are thinking about you all the time.
Thank you for keeping all of us posted with this blog.
Would love to talk sometime and will try to call again... but I know you are busy and I can only imagine. Hope the flooding situation is backing off some... sounds like the Midwest has had a rough few weeks.
Well, thats it for now.
Much love and cheers,
Ryan and Lenka Flaherty
Conan,
Thinking about you, outside of the weather sounds like things are positive.
Looking forward to seeing you later in the year.
Love, Sean
