We are starting to see some of our old Troy boy coming back. Today he insisted on dressing himself all by himself hense the inside out and backwards shirt. He is doing great at home. Yesterday was a tough day for the whole family especially Troy since he had a couple of procedures done. He is doing well enough to only go the the clinic once a week instead of the twice a week normally. By next Tuesday we should know how much of the leukemia is gone. They hope to only see 25% left. If they show more than that they will have to do another spinal tap and bone marrow aspiration next Wednesday. We hope to not put him through that again since he has just HAD IT with doctors, nurses, and hospitals all together. Little does he know this is going to be a long process and he will just have to adjust. This has certainly been a life altering experience for our whole family and I am sad that life will never be the same. I can't worry about that now though, all that matters is getting Troy better so he can have a happy normal life. Thanks again to everyone for all your help and support. We greatly appreciate it.
