Bone marrow biopsy today

Well we had our bone marrow aspirate today to see if we have achieved remission. If we have we get the same chemo drugs that we had last time in round two, if not we get new drugs that the docs tell us make them really sick for a long time...so of course we are hoping we are in remission. We won't get results until Tuesday because Monday is a holiday. No matter what happens we will be admitted Wednesday morning.

I also spoke with the bone marrow docs. It turns out a perfect match is harder to find then I thought. They have only one candidate and they still need to do more testing to see if they are a "perfect" match and the doc said she doesn't think they will be a match...so it looks like they will be using Ruby. I am excited because I think she was meant to save her brother. The Lord works in mysterious ways and the timeline of her birth and his relapse is nothing short of a miracle. We are so thankful to have the Lord as our companion on this journey.

And as for Ruby...the Nurse manager has hummed and hawwed about her staying up at the hospital with me this round but I am tired of waiting for an answer and have decided to take her with me until they tell me not to. I'm not sure if they will really tell me no so I'm just going to do it until they really put their foot down. I just can't stand the thought of only seeing her on the weekends so I'm avoiding it for as long as I can.

For now we are excited to do absolutely nothing as a family this weekend!
