All better...sort of

Well we heard back from Dr. Adams at PCH and she is ok to go ahead with high dose chemo without the biopsy. They cancelled the MRI so I'm glad he doesn't have to do another one. We have a meeting with Dr. Adams on Thursday afternoon to go over the plan for his next bit of treatment. From my understanding this next part is the worst. It's a years worth of chemo in seven days and then they "rescue" James with his own stem cells. I don't know why but I feel very calm about this part. I sometimes think I should be more worried about it but I'm not I just feel like everything is going to be ok. James went in to clinic this morning and is doing very well. His liver is back to normal and his platelets are up all on his own! Dr. Li is so happy and impressed with how well he is doing. They said he might start treatment next week but we won't know for sure till Thursdays meeting. We are ready for him to move on to the next phase. The quicker we get it started the quicker it's all over! We were hoping James would have started treatment earlier so he could be done before Christmas but his liver took a little longer to heal than expected. So he will probably still be in the hospital at Christmas. We are just so grateful that Heavenly Father has blessed us so much during this trails. We try to stay positive and find all the blessings we have been given.
