It has been a difficult weekend. On Friday the doctors has talked about letting Michael go home and being able to continue his treatment at home and going back up to the hospital a couple times a week. But, then on Saturday morning his blood counts were back down, so they recinded the plan of discharging him. His body is not responding to the current treatment. In the beginning of the treatments the doctors were very happy with his response to the treatments. But, shortly after his body was no longer responding. Tomorrow the doctors will be discussing what the next step of treatments are. Please, continue to pray for Michael, we need prayers. We are all hoping that Michael's body just need some additional time to respond to the treatments.
It has been such an emotional roller coaster for him and the family. One day his blood counts are up and things are looking great and before you can blink things are not looking so bright again. Michael is tired and is experiencing some side effects from the treatments.
The benefit is underway and family and friends are working hard to make this a complete success.
Please leave comments on the blog for Michael, he would enjoy reading them and knowing that people are thinking about him.
Good night
