Hi all –
Dad had another doctor’s appointment today and found out that the bone marrow sample from the most recent biopsy was lost by the lab. Many of us had been thinking that this was the case because it seemed to be taking too long to get the results. The doctor is not going to do another bone marrow biopsy right away and instead is sending a blood sample (not as accurate but should tell us something). The good news is that Dad’s blood counts are going up and the doctor has decided that it’s time to go two weeks between appointments. We are all very excited about it and Mom and Dad are planning a nice celebration this weekend.

Thank you again for your support and best wishes. I spoke with Dad on the phone earlier today and he sounds great. It’s really incredible.
Much love,
Dina

ps Benjamin is now walking and moving things around the house. This morning my brush was in the kitchen and my comb was in the office. Below are a few pictures from Ben’s best friend’s birthday party last weekend.
