Well this morning was like the best surprise party ever!!! Doctor came in with the DNA results, that we didn't think were coming until Friday. The DNA shows that Matt's leukemia will not require a bone marrow transplant. The chemo should do the trick, this first time around. Matt asked how much longer it will take to know for sure, and we think we will do the bone marrow test to see if the treatment killed everything within a week and at least another week for Matt's body to rebuild itself before he can come home. So best news we could receive today.
Matt still battled with high fever last night, but the nurse last night came every four hours with his meds to keep the fever down as much as possible. Matt did NOT have the leg pains as he did the night before and was able to have peaceful sleep throughout the night. (Which mean I feel very well rested this morning, since I slept too.) OF course it goes without saying, these were all request that were answered by your prayers.
Today we are going to be flushing out his port to keep everything flowing. No chest x-rays today. I believe both blood and platelets are coming again today. That should help more once we keep his fever down without aid of meds.
Thanks to those at Dell and RRISD who have donated blood. The coupons are starting to come in. Read my earlier post on how to donate if you want to.
Have a wonderful day and love to you all.
So thankful to hear this news. Our prayers continue as well as the "clicks" on the ads. Georgia, you have no idea how many who only know of you and Matt have prayed faithfully for you.
