Happy Halloween!!

Jenn is doing quite well again today and Dr Miller is now back from his seminar/vacation.  We originally thought that Jenn would be getting another bone marrow biopsy tomorrow, but Dr Miller is thinking he might hold off a few days.  I asked why we would do that (because clearly we want to know that this is in remission already) and Dr Miller's response was that he is "thinking about it"... this isn't bad news at all.  He mentioned that if he felt likeJenn was in trouble that he would administer the biopsy immediately. 

We asked about the bone marrow match test that was performed on Tucker (Jenns brother for those not in the know) and Dr Miller is going to see if those came back yet.  Even if Tucker is a match, they would let Jenn go home first to recover a bit before performing a bone marrow transplant.

All in all, Jenn is not having many side affects from the chemo and tomorrow is supposed to be the worst day after her initial treatment.  Jenn might need a blood transfusion tomorrow for her hemoglobin counts, but other than that she is just trucking along.

We got warned today that we needed to "hide" the coffee pot that Jaidee sent down, but we won't be taking it home... It just has to hide out till we need to brew more Horton's. YUM!

Lots of Love from Room 4912!!
