3/11/09 - Update, kind of

I know many of our family and friends are waiting for updates, I just don't have a whole lot yet to update. It is all up in the air. I will give you what I have...
I called and spoke with Dr. Lemons this morning and he said they did a blood smear and they did not see any signs of leukemia. That can be a sigh of relief to many others, but it does not help me much because there was also no evidence in Brinley's smear. It was in her marrow only. But I will take it for what it is, sor far there is NO sign of leukemia. He said that he will recommend the bone scan to our pediatrician because of the irregularities and several other tests I have never heard of. I called the peditrician and the nurse said that she knows he has spoken w/Dr. Lemons already and is waiting until he can sit down and call so we can talk in detail. Probably on his lunch. I can understand that, I don't want to feel rushed when he calls, so I'm just waiting. I'll ask him more questions about whatever tests he wants to run. I have a great deal of confidence in him and know he is very thorough. That's all I have, I wish it was more. Not knowing is torture.
