Today on our trip to Chicago, we got great news. Jonathon's leukemia is in complete remission! That's the best news we could have hoped for.
Now to get to work on getting him stronger! Thank you to everyone for your continued prayers.

Looking Forward
(Allison - I'm gonna answer your questions in this post.)
It's been over 4 weeks since I came home from the hospital and overall, I really don't feel that much different. I have noticed that when I do stuff around the house, and then I go to rest, it doesn't take me quite as long to recover from the activity. That's about the only noticeable improvement I've seen. My face isn't quite as puffy as it once was and my hair is slowly returning.
We haven't heard anything yet from the hospital about my biopsy and that was expected. This time they're testing for more things than they normally do. They're looking for whether or not the cancer is gone; How many new healthy cells are mine; How many cells are the donor's. All those tests take time. Normally, we would hear the results inside a week, but they did tell us this time that it may take longer. Last Tuesday's biopsy was however the worst one I've ever endured. Very painful. Today, the entry area is still sore and swollen.
Allison - I hope you and Steven get good results! We're thinking of you as well.
I have decided to take walks down the street every day to help with my stamina. Hopefully after a few weeks of doing this once or twice a day, I'll start to see an improvement.
