John has been admitted to an overflow floor due to the oncology floor having no beds yet; hopefully tomorrow sometime. We rushed up there today just to be admitted and have blood work done. The doc didn't have time to do the bone marrow biopsy this afternoon but as of tonight it is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 8:30. The docs have been looking more closely at his blood work from Monday so far it is showing what looks to be AML (acute myelogenous leukemia) When he relapsed the first time it came back as ALL and AMl. They took some more blood tonight and will be looking at that as soon as it comes back. So tomorrow will be a very busy day he will have the bone marrow biopsy at 8:30, then is tentatively scheduled to have the hickman port placed, then possible lumbar puncture in the afternoon. He will be well drugged up for all of these procedures. The treatment plan as of now will be to start chemo possibly Friday if not earlier. He will most likely get Cytaribine and Daunarubicin. These have been the worst chemo treatments for him in the past. We are possibly looking at a month stay in the hospital pending what the test results show.
He is very pissed off. Tonight was his last grad class for the semester and had a presentation to do for it. We were supposed to leave Sunday for Vegas for our Christmas gift. If he has to watch the BCS Championship (GO GATORS) game in the hospital he will be extremely pissed off. That is about all for tonight. I will update when we have more info. Thanks for all the phone calls and emails. We really appreciate it.
