Everything went as planned as far as Jerek getting chemo and a lumbar puncture on Monday. His neutrophils were only 100 last Thursday so we were afraid they would not be high enough to get chemo on Monday. Surprisingly, they had jumped up to 1,300 by Monday. His creatinine level had come back down to his normal and his liver enzyme levels had also come down. It was a long day but he got the chemo as planned as well as the lumbar puncture. He went back yesterday for labs only. All of his counts looked good which made for a short visit. He gets another week off and will go back on Thursday for the final dose of chemo in this course. He will then have another bone marrow biopsy to confirm that he is still in remission and will move on to course 4. The methotrexate and lumbar puncture has really taken a toll on him this week. He hasn’t been able to do much over the past few days except sleep. Although his counts are up right now, he hasn’t felt good. Please pray he starts to feel better and can enjoy some time with the kids this week.
 
Praying for added energy and a few days of "normal living" before going back to kicking cancers a$$
