More Testing

They have decided that they really need to do the Bone Marrow test after all. Dad should be getting that done tomorrow. The spinal tap is done to make sure that there are now cancer cells in the spine and central nervous system because Chemotherapy does not work on the spine region and it would have to be treated differently. The bone marrow test is to see if the caner has gone to the bone lets pray that it has not. They have ruled that the cancer is on the EK cells I think that is what Mom said which is the cells in the sinuses. Hopefully they will know tomorrow and be able the start the chemo soon. They did start Dad on Steroid which is suppose to slow down the cancer. Mom said the Doctors told her that Dad might only be in the Hospital for another week or so then they would be able to treat on an outpatient basis. They don't want to release him to early because of all he has been through. Well I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas. Keep praying Dad was really happy to see all the kids this weekend even though he was worried about us traveling. Thanks for coming to visit I think it helped his spirits.
