Biopsy results are back! He has just over 5% leukemic cells so they are giving him more chemo today. They will also be doing a lumbar puncture to put chemo directly into the spinal fluid to ensure that there is no leukemia hanging out in there. He'll be at UCSF for another 2 weeks, then he'll go home to recuperate for a week or so then back to UCSF for day trip to have another biopsy to see how he's doing. 

At some point we will get a plan for more chemo, but at this point we don't know what will be happening after he goes home. One step at a time.

They are also taking away his Dilaudid button since he seems to have a hard time with the combination of that and the antibiotics. He has no more bone pain so he shouldn't need it anyway.
