...another long day

*sigh….deep breath* It was another long day…

Today we met with the BMT team to go over results of Mike’s most recent bone marrow biopsy and requirements for transplant. He is showing a 1% relapse which means the leukemia is already trying to come back from his last remission in October. At this point, they are still going to proceed with transplant as long as his lumbar puncture tests come back satisfactory and that we can get dental clearance by Friday. We still have not heard back from the dentist to even get him in for a visit, so if anyone knows a dentist near Tampa who would be willing to help us out before Friday, it would be greatly appreciated. If we don’t have dental clearance to turn in on Monday, his doctor is cancelling the transplant.
We went over about 50 pages of consent forms and side effects which we have to take home to review further before his appointment next Monday. I have a hard time processing all of the “what ifs” at this point, so I really just have to put everything in God’s hands. I know that everything is going to be ok because God is amazing and no matter what – He will look out for me and my family.

Mike has been in very good spirits and we are certainly determined to enjoy the next few weeks together as a family. We are taking in every moment and enjoying it to its fullest. We pray that all of you will consider us throughout the holiday season and do the same for yourself and your loved ones. Life is too short not to enjoy it and appreciate what you have.

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a blessed and prosperous new year!! Much love and joy to all!!! <3
