We received the phone call this morning and apparently he has less than 3% of Leukemic Blast Cells in his blood. When he first relapsed in January - his blood had 46% of Leukemic Blast Cells - so that's 43% less!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!! The chemo is working.
Now the next step is a second round of chemo, which we start on Monday, and then we condition his body for the Bone Marrow Transplant. As of now, his transplant is scheduled for the second week in April. That's if and when everything pans out with a Bone Marrow donor.
Below is Hunter going in for his Bone Marrow Aspirate last Friday. He gets his routine blood pressure taken before every procedure.
Then they draw blood. This was to test his counts to make sure that his body is strong enough to handle the Bone Marrow procedure.
They use the sleepy juice for this one and not the happy juice.......so he's out like a light in seconds. Doesn't seem to be too happy about it. In fact, he looks quite pissed.
The forever hated "laydown".
Our little sleeping prince.
Passed out in dad's arms after his long day. Safe and sound.
Everyone's love and support has truly been amazing. Thank you so much for sending all of the smiles and sweet blessings and prayers our way. Thousands of people will sleep tight tonight.
