Day 33

Hi Everyone,

Today we are back at the beginning. Charlie started his first day of chemo today and has 13 days left of treatment. Right now he is on an IV through his PICC line and is currently getting a big bag of neon yellow chemo. This bag will take 24 hours to complete. Last night he was up most of the night due to urine collections, vitals, shift changes and just the blah of being in the hospital. The doctors came in today with great news. His biopsy results came back and he now has less than 5 percent of cancer cells in his body. We are so happy with that news. When Charlie was first diagnosed with leukemia his cancer cells were at 98 percent. We are so pleased with the results of the first round of chemo. Praise God! Tomorrow is the day we have been waiting for. Brad and Jeff will be tested tomorrow to see if they are a match for Charlie. The test is a simple lab draw and shouldn't take long at all. We will have to wait a week until the results come back. Please pray that one of them are a match. Charlie would really like one of them to be... He has a funny feeling that Jeff will be. Charlie is doing good today. He Has a great attitude and still amazes me with his strength and determination. I would like to thank you all who have bought tickets to the spaghetti dinner. It's going to be a great night. You guys rock!! Please continue to pray for Charlie and for Gods healing hands to be laid upon him. Have a great night!! Until tomorrow :)
