Waiting is always the hardest part, isn't it? The original plan last week was that Leo was going to be admitted today and they would start his chemo tomorrow morning for a twice daily regimen for the 10 days before his transplant, which was originally scheduled for 2/19. But since there have been some complications with his dad's blood tests, we are still awaiting the results of his biopsy, which he had last Friday to see if he is still a viable donor. They were supposed to get the results in yesterday, but I guess they are still being analyzed by the specialists, so we basically have to just sit and wait until they tell us what is going on. Hopefully we will know be tomorrow, then I will be sure to update you all and I know you want to know the latest. So at this point, we don't know when Leo will be admitted, but it likely won't be this week. My guess is next week, but what do I know? I've also been kind of worried about the layoffs and budget cuts that were just announced at University of Chicago earlier this week. Hope the cuts aren't going to be in Oncology...
So hopefully we will hear about his dad soon so we know what the next steps will be. If his dad cannot donate, we don't know what the back up plan is, but let's hope we won't need it. I will keep you all posted as soon as I know. Say a little prayer for us!

Hey Bernadette, this passage from the Bible always gives me comfort when I get distressed and the future seems uncertain and scary. I just thought I share it with you, and it is my prayer for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteIt is Psalm 20 NIV version:
"May the Lord answer you when you are in distress;
may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
May He send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion.
May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings.
May He give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.
We will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up our banners in the name of our God.
May the Lord grant all your requests.
Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand.
Some trust in the chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm."
You guys are in my prayers and thoughts.
