Yesterday we received good news from my doctor in Chicago...I'm still in remission, according to my last bone marrow biopsy. (This was the 100 day post-transplant biopsy.) My doctor told me that I'm not cured, but this is the best thing we could hope for considering what I've gone through. So, we were very happy to hear that news.
Also, I got the last bit of paperwork squared away with my insurance company and I'll be returning to work next Tuesday part-time to start. My doctor wants me to start slow, working 20 hours for the first week and then increasing by one hour every week after. Finally!
My ride is not over, but everything is looking up. I would like to take a moment and thank everyone for all the support we've gotten over the last 9 months. The response from friends and family has been unimaginably limitless. And my wife and I are very grateful for that. You know who you are, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Yippee!! I can finally torment you ever day!! I am so thankful that you are able to start back to work. I have a HUGE pile of billing waiting for you! The perfect job to ease you back into the working world :) All the people who have helped you and Katie have done so out of love. You have had the really hard job, and you stepped up to the plate and hit it out of the park!! It is only a matter of time until the doctor can tell you that you are cured, then I can stop being so nice to you all of the time!! I love you, and can't wait until Tuesday!

Congratulations Johnathon. You are one tough cookie. Congrats to you too Katie. I know it must have been difficult, but you made it. Screw cancer - it has been judged against your spirit and found lacking. For that, you truly can be proud. - BK
