Great Thanksgiving!



Steve was able to enjoy a great Thanksgiving over the weekend. The weather was beautiful, and he got out a little. It was his first home Thanksgiving since 2 years ago due to being in New York on his mission, and all he cared about was getting some stuffing! He also enjoyed some fun football games.
Steve was able to have his bone marrow test done last Tuesday, November 24, and just got the results back this afternoon. He has measurable cancer cells of .12%. This is a good improvement from what he had before, or .25%, but it is not the coveted 0% or full remission the doctors needed. Therefore, Steve will be going into the hospital at the end of this week for a 5 day stay where they hit him with some very heavy duty chemotherapy. Also, the doctors will be looking at a bone marrow transplant for Steve, and will fill us in later this week about that process.
We are again thankful for such great friends and family and for your love and support, faith & prayers. You all are a great strength to Steve.
