This will be my shortest update yet, mostly due to time. I know many people are wanting to know the results of the bone marrow test. We just got them Wednesday night, and it came back positive for tumor. So, that was pretty heart breaking news because we know that every round of chemo decreases our chances of getting good stem cells to harvest. However, there is no point in harvesting stem cells that still have cancer in them, so we’re going to test him again after Round 4 and see if it is gone and if we can harvest then. Round 4 is still scheduled for September 12-14.
We won tickets to the Iowa State / UNI game tomorrow night, so we’ll be there! I think Eli is excited to wear his jersey and see Cy again. Should be a great time. He’s no longer neutropenic, which means no more shots, which makes him a happy boy. We’re planning on going to the Omaha zoo on Sunday. Trying to take advantage of this non neutropenic time right before another round of chemo.
Thanks for the prayers, we really appreciate and need them.
