So far so good!

Well he has had 4 doses of chemo only two more. Yesterday was a good day, the fever was gone and I talked to him this morning and still not having a fever. If all goes well he will get chemo Saturday night, and Sunday morning and then come home Sunday afternoon. Then around Wednesday or Thursday the counts will start going down. He might be able to stay at home if we watch him really good, but if he gets a fever he will have to go back to hospital. Or he will have to be admitted on Thursday after getting the blood tests done. Then when the counts start going up, they will maybe let him go home again. The next step after that is to find a donor which they are trying to do, and then after this round of chemo process they would like to start the transplant. If the donor is not available till later then he would have to do another round of this same chemo and go through about a 4 week process again. Our hope is to start in about 3 weeks. The doctor came in yesterday and told us all of the things to expect with the transplant, and didn't paint a pretty picture. But we are hopeful that all will go well and this will cure the cancer. I will let everyone know more as we go. Thanks again to everyone for everything!
