Update on Donovan: he has had no leukemia related symptoms in over a week but now he is experiencing a lot of the terrible side effects of chemotherapy. Today his throat was so sore he could not even swallow water. Our main doctor for this week was thrilled as this is a good sign from patients who typically end up in remission. She said the chemo attacks all rapidly reproducing cells, including the entire GI tract which means:
1. His body is responding well to the treatment
2. He is in a lot of pain.
His blast count is still zero which is great and they will do a bone marrow test on Monday to get a better idea of progress. In my opinion, he is healed. It is done and finished. I am just excited to see the lab test line up with what we know has already happened. We fix our eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen because what is seen is temporary but what is unseen is eternal.
Please continue to pray for Donovan, Morgan their daughters Maddy and Irelyn
Thank you
