We're back at the Roger Maris Cancer Center -- with a little bit of a sun kissed look. We had a wonderful week in the Carribean - on board a beautiful cruise ship - enjoying the islands of the West Indies --
Today Emery had blood work drawn - and GOOD NEWS! -- the chemo is working well and his numbers have dropped dramically - they actually look normal! -- His spleen has shrunk and his white counts are at 5000 (that's from 90,000) -- wow! -- so the chemo is doing what it's supposed to do! His doctor is optomistic that this is already working great! - Emery calls this a "Thank you Jesus" moment. After the third treatment he will need another bone marrow biopsy to see if the leukemia in the bone marrow is shrinking - if it is - he will be able to stop after 4 treatments.
We are just getting started now this morning - getting fluids before he starts any infusions. I'm heading out to pick up a couple supplies - and Emery is going to start working on the 4000 pictures he took on our trip - maybe you'll get to see a couple of them soon.
For now I'll leave you with Emery - today.
Praising the Lord and a big Thank you, Jesus from me! That is awesome news to hear. You guys look a bit "lobstery". hehe Hope you had a great time away!

ReplyDeleteI am so glad you 2 had a chance to get away. I too praise and thank God for the good test results. We will continue to ask the Lord to bring healing and that the test results will be better and better until the cancer is gone!!
