Andreas:
Spoke to Ed.
- He is very busy taking care of all the little things, arrange pills, paying bills etc.
- Barbara's family is looking into getting some kind of helper. I do not know details.
- I think it would be good to figure out some kind of coordination for the people want to help. If there is ideas please let me know (andreas@astro.columbia.edu).

Andreas:
Spoke to Ed and it all seem to move along. We are looking into getting them a TV with netflix or a DVD for them to be able to watch movies. I try to speak to him once per day.
- The chemo since Sunday night, for 42 nights. The radiation is every morning on weekdays, for six weeks (until October 8?).
- Barbara sleeps large fraction of the time, and it is hard to keep up the two walks per day that doctors want her to do. Ed is worrying about her muscles getting weaker (there is a N.Y. Times article about this baby boomer problem).
- Ed sounds like very tired. He has started composing the next missive, will post it when I get it.
