Just a quick note - more details in the next few days. The marrow from Monday shows incomplete remission - meaning Ryan needs more chemo ASAP. He was admitted this afternoon with the intent of getting chemo this evening. But he's had trouble emptying his bladder since his spinal tap on Monday, progressively worsening. After he was admitted he couldn't empty his bladder and had to be catheterized. Right now he's getting an MRI to see if there is a hematoma (blood collection) pressing on the nerves to the bladder. Another possibility is either inflammation or toxicity from the intrathecal chemo. The chemo is on hold until they know what needs to be done.
I committed months ago to going along on MeiLin's 5th grade trip to Boston tomorrow, and MeiLin has asked nearly every day, "Are you sure you're going to come?" After much deliberation, I've decided since there isn't much I can do here I will go on the 6 am bus trip with her. Shannon is feeling better, and she will go to be with Ryan part of the day tomorrow.
Please keep Ryan in your prayers.
