Improving

We were really encouraged by the Dr. visit today. The blood work shows the liver functions to be coming much closer to the normal ranges. The biopsy shows the bone marrow (still recovering) to be free of any leukemia cells at this time. The liver still has more healing to do before further treatment can be done. When the times comes to start thinking about the transplant, we know Ray has to have strong ("mega") doses of chemo when he gets to Bethesda. The Dr. here is in contact with the Dr. in Maryland. As for now, the body has more healing to do. I feel we are in a race against time.

The appt. with the infection spec. had to be postponed until tomorrow morning.

Next week, Thursday, a CT Scan will be done on the lungs since he's had pneumonia twice this past year. The Dr. said today, that when the liver and lungs are strong enough we can start talking about where we go from here. Thank you so much for your continued prayers. It is your prayers that has gotten us thus far!

Love you all,
Kim
