Home Again

Just wanted to give a quick update on the hospital visit today.

• Jake's surgery went very well.
• No leukemia cells were found in the spinal fluids
• We will not get the detailed results of the biopsy until Tues. At that time we will know whether he needs to go back in for another biopsy next Friday or whether he gets to go back in 3 weeks.
• Blood labs came back today. The doctor was very pleased with the results. His white/red/platelet counts were low, but they were at a level that is expected for someone at this point in their treatment
• The doctor was also happy to report that this was the first time they had seen new, young cell counts in his blood work. This means that the marrow is beginning to make cells on its own now that the leukemia cells are being destroyed.
• Jake was thrilled when we got to the clinic to see that they had Easy Mac that he could eat. He was still a little upset that we wouldn't let him have breakfast this morning.

We are all back at home now, taking a nap after today's treatments.

Thanks again for all the prayers!!!!!
