Well today was a pretty uneventful day, which is always a good thing. We got the word that the Hope Lodge has an opening for us, so God willing we will be checking out of here! Tomorrow they are removing his Hickman catheter ( Woo Hoo!) and he is scheduled for discharge sometime Saturday afternoon. They will keep monitoring him until them to make sure things are still going well, and if they are then he can go home. So we won't have official word until Saturday. Derrick's white blood cells dropped some today to 6, which is completely normal. His platelets are up to 80 and is red blood cells are holding their own! He is still having difficulty eating and drinking, but we are told that this will take some time. On day +30 he will have a bone marrow biopsy to confirm that he is officially engrafted and the leukemia is gone. We will continue to keep you posted on his discharge as we get more information. Thank you for all your continued prayers, they definitely worked!
Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name.

I wanted to let you guys know, down in Ephrata/Akron last night there was a rainbow. For the last couple of years, every time I've seen a rainbow it means some battle is over...hopefully that means good news for you guys too!
