Well, today the "fasttracks" started at MD Anderson. My parents were up early and at MD by 8 this morning for blood work, then they waited around most of the day to visit with his doctor. His blood counts came back normal!!!! I am really not sure what normal means, but I do know that this means that according to his blood work his leukemia is gone for the moment! BUT, they won't know for sure until they take some bone marrow out of his pelvis to see if it is in his bones. I believe that they are doing the bone marrow aspiration later this week. He will have his port removed tomorrow because the doctor feels that it is just a breeding ground for an infection; I must say that WE AGREE!!!! Especially since that is what screwed him up in the first place (his round of chemo was supposed to be easy but three months later here we are; weak and FINALLY healing). Thanks be to God! Anyways, the doctor said that if his marrow comes back clean then he will set up an appointment with the transplant doctor to get that part underway! YEAH!!! I do think that will be months away though. Still not sure how long it will be until that begins, one day at a time for now. I am positive that my mom and dad are exhausted after today; and they are resting well right now.
I cannot say this enough; THANK-YOU TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS, God is wonderful and with all of your help he has helped my father through this. God bless each and every one of you.
Oh yeah, Snook won tonight !!!!! YEAH!!!!! Goodnight, until next time... ttfn...
