Tony had his bone marrow biopsy yesterday. They were able to do it the "good" way again this time, which he is very happy about. Results should take about 3 days. We're hoping for Thursday.
He is getting his groshong catheter out today. They put in a peripheral line in his arm for them to use today and tomorrow.
Doctor Orloff stopped in this morning and said everything on his blood counts looked really good today. They all jumped quite a bit, but his platelets and neutrophils specifically took a very large jump. He said that is a good indicator of a remission, so we are really hoping the biopsy results are positive. Because of the significant jump in his blood counts today, they are moving him to oral antibiotics today and are planning to send him home tomorrow! Yay!
We dropped Stacey off at the airport yesterday, and Tammy (Tony's mom) flew in. We made a pit stop at the cherry blossoms while they were both here.
Less than a week until move day. John Lee (Tony's brother) flies in Thursday night to help us finish packing and load up the pods.
