Ron had an even better day; Griffiths, Cale and Jess, and Andrew visited. He could see Joey, jack, and allison playing down in the courtyard. The preliminary chromosome tests from the bone marrow biopsy showed leukemia that is less likely to cause a relapse after treatment. It was such good news! He was given 2 ambien last night and slept very well. Tonight I am staying in the Holiday Inn with Andy. A bath sounds delightful; there are places to shower in the hospital.
Ron does not have nausea or other side effects except for a little bleeding from the nose. He is in a private room now because his immunity system is compromised by the chemo.
We have our highs from the adrenaline rushes and our lows but feel we are normal in how we are accepting our new circumstances. We can not say enough about the professionalism and quality of care of the University of Michigan Hospital. We look at each other and say "Go Blue!" and just cannot believe that we are uttering those words.
Love to all of you; I need to get a good night's sleep. Andy and I will both be in the room tomorrow for rounds by Ron's medical team.
Love, MOM/ Jan
