First Test Results are Inconclusive

Just spoke to Gretchen on the phone. The bone marrow tests were inconclusive as to what type of Leukemia Griffin has. They will do another bone marrow extraction tomorrow and perform another set of tests. The doctors are leaning towards ALL PreB but they will hold off on the chemotherapy until tomorrow evening.

Griffin is more comfortable because they are now providing intervals of morphine doses. He was even able to enjoy a lollipop.

Gretchen reports that the kids have been divided among the grandparents. It is a big task to take on three kids while the parents are attending to Griffin. Hudson is with Lola Marita. Everest and Kai Kai are with Poppy and Grandma Maks.

Giselle is on her way to the hospital now to provide relief and support.

Please make sure we send words of encouragement and support to Jon, Gretch, and Griffin by adding comments.

Thanks for keeping this up-to-date! I just tried calling Gretch's cell and got vm, so with this blog I have the latest updates!

Also it definitely brightened my day to refer to this blog as the chronicle of Griffy's victory!! Love it.
