two hurdles

Today's a big day: my nephew Nicholas has a clinic visit. They're going to check his blood counts to make sure they're high enough to do a bone marrow aspiration. The bone marrow is for checking leukemia counts to determine if he's ready for his bone marrow transplant.

Please pray that his white counts are high enough to do the bone marrow aspiration, and that the bone marrow tests come back clean so they can head back this direction for his transplant.

Edited at 2:30 to add: Nick's counts were GREAT!! They did the bone marrow aspiration. Now the request changes to quick processing of the bone marrow. The tentative plan is that they'll be here in Seattle on Dec 3, which is only ONE WEEK away. Add in the holiday, and the lab may not get the results back in time to make a decision before they have to leave. Pray for extra speedy lab results this week.
