Dad had the ultrasound on his port today and received antibiotics to help take care of the infection. He also had the biopsy today where they were able to extract some aspirate which is a good sign! That means that the leukemia has subsided enough to get some fluid back into his bone marrow. We'll find out the results tomorrow. 

We're hoping for less than 5% leukemic cells for them to consider him in remission. If he has more than that, they will give him several more doses of different chemo drugs to get him under that 5% marker.
