I know I have gotten slack with the posting. Everything went well with the lumbar puncture this time around. The doctors did an excellent job of making sure they stayed on top of it this time around and did everything they could to prevent another spinal headache. Jerek was discharged late Wednesday afternoon. He was nervous to come home but happy to be here as well. It has been nice to be home but it has also been an adjustment. His counts were coming up nicely before we left the hospital.

His next appointment is on Thursday. They were giving him this week off in order for his counts to continue to come up. They removed his PICC line before we left the hospital and he will be getting a port on Thursday. They will also be doing another bone marrow biopsy on Thursday. The results of the bone marrow biopsy will determine the next cycle of treatment. As long as he doesn’t get sick, he should be able to do the rest of his treatment on an outpatient basis. Thank you to everyone who has been supporting us during this time. Please pray for everything to go well on Thursday and for the bone marrow biopsy to show that he is in remission.
 
Thanks for the great news, so glad he is home! Each of you will remain in our prayers and we will hope you get good news on Thursday.

Tell him I was told that holding babies was good medicine. :)
 
Continued prayers. Thanks for sharing!
 
Great news!

I think of you guys everyday and send up a prayer that all this will be a distance memory soon.
 
Thank you for the update, Caitlin. Such great news!

Your family remains in our thoughts and prayers.
 
Great news... prayers on the way
 
Most excellent!

Keep all non-immediate family away - as much as they would like to visit. Small humans that smell good are exempt (-;
 
Prayers continuing.
 
Glad y'all are together at home.
Hope and pray things continue to improve.
Thanks for the update.
