March 10th day +114

Well the doctors called today with the results from the bone marrow aspirate. There is .8% leukemia cells. That means that the leukemia survived the bone marrow preparation and transplant. We are now doing a rapid decrease of my Prednisone(steroid) to try and induce graft v. host disease. If this doesn't start it then we will do a rapid decrease in my Cyclosporine(rejection) to induce it. At this point we need the new bone marrow to attack my body and destroy the leukemia cells. The only thing mom and dad were told today, over the phone, was that there should be no problem. Any prayers are welcome. Love, Trent.

Sounds like you're in good hands. I've learned more about leukemia from watching your journey than I ever knew before since cancer isn't my area of nursing. Good luck!

Trent,

Hey, we love you so much! Payton and Xoie had a blast w/ you while we were in Utah. Payton talks about you all the time. Whenever Mike ask's him what he did, all he say's is I played w/ Trent!
We know you are going to pull out of this. We pray for you all the time and we love you!
