• Sorry for the delay!

  I just realized I had forgotten to post an update on Trenton's biopsy.  Here is an excerpt from Mari-Jo's email to our family:

  ---Our doctor was able to look at the bone marrow right away, and saw that it was great!  There were tons of platelets, which means his bone marrow is doing what it’s supposed to be doing.  She said there is nothing like leukemia or anything going on (which was my fear deep down).  This doesn’t really answer anything at this point, but it eliminates a scarier problem.  We won’t get results from the piece of the bone for another day or so, it has to mineralize or something.  But she will call us.

  So, now we wait some more.  We’ll go back in three weeks and check his blood again.  If it still hasn’t gone up then we’ll talk about other drugs/treatments to try.  He’s not going to take anything right now, she really wants him to fix this on his own.  So, we are relieved, but still on edge with this not getting any better. 

  Trenton seems to be doing fine.  They said he would be a little sore, but he doesn’t seem to be in pain at all, which is wonderful.  He’s such a trooper.  I think the not eating this morning was the hardest part.  I handed him a cup of juice (which is all he could have) and he kind of looked at me like, “that’s it?”  But he really did very well. ---

   

  We are so relieved that leukemia was ruled out so quickly, but we continue to pray for Trenton, Tyler, and Jo as they wait for more definitive answers.  Thank you God for your goodness and faithfulness!
