If you have never been to Mayo, there is a beautiful open space where many major halls converge, the ceilings are high and even appear higher as there is a balcony over it with more halls. One side is mainly windows and there is a huge figure of a man who is "reaching up to God for healing". By the windows is a baby grand piano by which thousands of people will pass by daily on their way to various appointments. Today Michael was finishing up a test and I went to the pharmacy. On the way out to meet Michael--there he was on the piano playing. He played many heartfelt pieces beautifully. One of the songs he played was "Alleluiah". Wish you could have been there!!
Today, Michael had nine appointments/tests. It was a long day that included a bone marrow biopsy (with anesthesia), CT scans, EKG and chest x-ray. The chest x-ray looked good, but we may have to wait until Tuesday before we know about the CT and PET scans, which are more definitive. His blood work today was pretty good, except the Lymphocytes are not bouncing back yet.
We met with a member of the Transplant Team today and began the process of education on the process, more on that later.
Mark is doing well and on target to get home tomorrow.
More tests for Michael tomorrow, but not as many. Thank you so much for all of your concern and prayers.
