Dad's biopsy came back with blasts - 65% blasts. We were all, including the doctors, shocked by this as you can imagine.
Although Dad hasn't seen is Primary doctor yet today (he has a call into him), the tentative plan is to have him come home at the end of the week. They are still planning, as far as we know, to proceed with the bone marrow transplant on the 16th. Dad asked if they could just go ahead with the next round of chemo/radiation to get prepped for the transplant, but until the donor is able to "donate", they can't prep him. We're hoping they can prep the donor for an earlier date, but we don't know if that can happen.
He had an echocardiogram this afternoon just to make sure there isn't any dammage to his heart from the last round of chemo.
He is feeling a little better if that's any consolation.
As always continue to pray for us and thank you for the prayers you've given us. We are humbled by it and grateful for it. As a good friend just emailed me "If God brings us to it, He will bring us through it".
