January 10, 2009

The test results are back and Steve does not have the resistant chromosome (philadelphia). This is great news!! It also means that they will do intense chemo for the next 4 days and then the best news......he will be released from the hospital but will be continueing out-patient treatment. We don't know how long for that yet but we all keep the good thoughts and hope for the best.

Steve looked better today but still a bit tired. Keep praying.

  1. Hey sweet cousin,
    Just flew in last night from the east coast. Its been frustrating not being able to make contact. You've been through a lot already and it sounds like its going to continue. I hope that your pain has been controlled.

    I'm so happy to hear you've received some positive information about the leukemia strain etc. And I'm so happy you get to go home. Hospitals are no place for sick people.

    I'm going to hold off on visiting for a while...I know chemo can be exhausting in addition to what the disease is doing in your body...and, your body is fighting now too, using up more energy.

    I hope on some level you know how very deeply I love you. I'm praying and sending all the love I can muster to you and all your dear ones.

    Please feel this hug and kiss. I hold you.
    All my love,
    Dorothy
