Biopsy Day

Tomorrow Michael will undergo another bone marrow biopsy.  It is hard to believe that four months have passed since the last biopsy, but the months have come and gone quickly and without any major incident.

Michael has a full day ahead of him.  He will first visit the oncology clinic and then have his biopsy. The afternoon holds tests on his heart, lungs, and ears.  We should have biopsy results in about two weeks.  The other tests will determine if the chemotherapy and radiation have caused any damage.  Those results will trickle back to us over the next week or so.
 
During the last biopsy, Michael required additional anesthesia during the biopsy.  While not cause for alarm, it may indicate that the frequent sedations are taking their toll on his body.
 
It will be a long day for Michael (and his sad mom who will not be able to be with him this time).  Thanks again for praying with us.
