Chemotherapy was administered at 2:30AM. The surgeons examined Jadon this morning to determine if surgery was necessary to correct an enflamed Gallbladder and Spleen. No surgery is planned at this time but the situation will be closely watched. The oncologists are very optimistic about his treatment at this time. The bone marrow test showed less than 3% leukemic cells. This number is consistent with the goal of the patient effectively being in remission at the conclusion of the Induction phase of treatment. Jadon's Induction phase is due to conclude on June 17. The cytogenetics report was also very favorable which allows the oncologist to administer less chemotherapy and lowers his risk factor slightly. He is showing more and more periods of lucidity answering yes and no questions about his condition. Also he is starting to move his limbs from his week long sleep. He is still receiving pain medication as required. The ventilator is due to be removed tomorrow which will greatly increase his comfort level.
We want to thank everyone for their continued support and prayers.
