Test show positive results!

We are thankful to report that so far Dad's tests have come back very positive. The bone marrow is working well and there is no sign of cancer there. Dad still has to go back for a few more tests but so far everything is fine and going according to plan.

It will still be a long time before Dad will feel like himself again, he will be very tired and not always feel well but the doctors say this is par for the course. His medication will constantly be adjusted and this will also affect the way he feels. He did get his Hickman line removed so that is one less thing to worry about. 

It will still be a long time before he can be in large crowds because his immune system needs to be built back up first. So as he has been doing these last months he will spend most of his time at home and continue recuperating.

Dad and Mom are thankful for all the support they have received throughout this journey and ask that you continue to keep them in your prayers.

No longer an out-patient!

Dad has been continuing to recuperate nicely at home. He has been going to Vancouver twice a week for checkups for two months now. At his appointment today he learned that he doesn't have to make these trips anymore; what great news!

Dad has gone for some tests the past few weeks and next week Tuesday he has an appointment with the bone marrow transplant doctor to get the results of these tests. These should tell us what has happened since the transplant and if things are moving in the right direction. I will update the blog again when we get these results.

It also looks like next week Dad may be able to have his Hickman line removed which is a good step in the right direction as well.

Dad still tires easily and doesn't always feel good but we are thankful that he has been able to recuperate at home these last few months. We hope and pray that the test results will be good news but in all things we put our trust in our Heavenly Father.

It has been and will continue to be a long road for Dad and Mom. Some days are better than others. Please continue to keep them in your prayers.
