Talked to dad this morning. His numbers did not come up again, and in fact dropped a little bit. He was going to ask the doctor about putting him back on the neupagen to get those numbers to climb again. He really wants to go home this weekend, especially since most of the kids will be here to visit!
The great news is that since yesterday, he has been sleeping well, feeling great, has had NO pain meds, and NO PAIN! He said he hasn't felt this good in a long time. That was very promising to hear.
They have scheduled the bone marrow biopsy for 1 p.m. today and hopefully we should get the preliminary results tomorrow. Everyone is still hopeful that he is in remission, and if they way he feels is any indication, he will be!
UPDATE:
Nurses overruled the doctor on the biopsy since his platelets are so low. They want to give him platelets before the biopsy and they couldn't get them in time today. So, the biopsy is scheduled for 10 a.m. and the platelets an hour before at 9 a.m.
