Bone Marrow Aspiration number 4 or is that 5?

Just had another bone marrow biopsy, Clif is truly a champion!   Purpose; to check disease status and satisfy the drug trial protocol from the last chemo treatment.  Another 2-3 day wait period and prayerfully good results are in store for us!  We are told the lungs look good, and a reduction in some meds that cause nausea will hopefully bring some further relief from the  horrific nausea that he has had for far too long.

Clif has felt remarkably better today, Friday.  Just finished eating a good lunch and has not napped all day.  Opening his mail, making calls, reading and doing physical therapy.  His 10pm call before lights out, he had a low grade fever, tylenol reduced immediately.  Saturday brought similar encouraging energy and lessened nausea.  But again, as the day came to a close, he was experiencing nausea, fever and had a bit of a growl to his outward behavior.

Clif is not one to shrink back, he has great confidence going through this difficulty.  These continual encouragements and discouragements all at once are challenging in our fight to press on and finish strong.  I value the moments of him feeling well and pray for many more.

Please pray for his continued perseverance.

Isn't he handsome!   And yes, I think he makes bald look good.
