The next few weeks...

The next few weeks will be quite busy for Dad with testing in preparation for the stem cell transplant.

Here is a brief summary:  
Monday, Dec 15th - Blood work, MUGGA Scan (Heart Test), Chest X-Ray 
Tuesday - Doctor visit 
Thursday - Bone Marrow Biopsy, Dentistry consult 
Friday - Lung Function Test 
Sunday - pre Lumbar puncture bloodwork 
Tuesday - Lumbar Punture (4 hour appt) 
Sunday Dec 28th - check in at Vancouver General Hospital

As you can imagine these tests can be quite unpleasant and we pray for Dad that he takes one day at a time. We also ask for your prayers for Mom as she cares for Dad through all of this.
