Biopsy done

Dr. Al just came in and said he was successful with his bone marrow aspiration and will let us know as soon as he knows anything. It should be a couple of hours. She handled it well with lots of sedation. She is still sleeping and requiring a bit more oxygen (4L). As she wakes up, she should be able to get back down to where she was this morning. She is going to get some platelets today while we await the results.
Dr. Al did say that if the results don't show anything, we should be able to go home. If they do show leukemia, we will stay and most likely get a central line put in sometime in the next couple of days and start planning treatments. Back in May, we talked about low dose chemo and conventional chemo. Low dose tries to slowly suppress the cancer and the conventional is rough, but holds a better chance of knocking out the cancer. He said we would go with the conventional method because her heart function is good. That's the blessing here...at least she's "healthy" and strong this time.
