Late Tuesday
Well I am trying to go to bed, but Trevor has the hiccups and is wide awake. Oh well, it gives me time to write about the day. Talked with Dad and he is doing well. Today is his day off, and he talks to the doctors tomorrow to see if he is a good candidate for a study.
Yesterday is when they did all the tests on him. They started at 7AM and he went back to the hotel at 10PM. Wow what a long day! He had a bone marrow biopsy, which is where they take a small piece of bone and marrow from his hip so they can look at the cells and see what is happening. This is done just as a test, and they are not transplanting or medicating him in any way. It is normally a pretty painful process, like the first one he had at in St. Louis a couple months ago, but he said this procedure wasn’t too bad at all. They really numbed him up, which was nice. He is in great spirits, and we will find out more things tomorrow.
Wow Trevor is already asleep, if only I didn’t have to move him :(

Writing from University of Texas in Houston; wow is this place ever big. The MD Anderson Cancer Hospital has 3,000 employees in the leukemia section alone. I'm doing find, just had blood work taken for analysis, see the doctor at 1PM today. We're both doing fine, the hotel provides a shuttle to the hospital every hour on the half, and the University of Texas Police Department has a shuttle if you're out too late for the hotel.
We'll be sure to let everyone know what the doctor says as soon as we find out. We've got a page full of questions to ask her, Estella Farajoli. (She is the associate professor of medicine, and her specialty is AML!)
Off for a quick lunch then to see the doc, we've got our fingers crossed.
