Another good report

Kent had a better night last night. He still didn't sleep well but at least he wasn't in pain. You know how it is being in the hospital. You never get a good nights sleep because they are always coming in to check on you. They are in and out a lot drawing blood and checking his urine. They are doing a great job keeping every thing in check. We have had awesome nurses. Today we received the news that all of the Leukemia cells are out of the blood stream at this moment. There was no chemo today. The next treatment will be on the 25th. He is holding up well. There has been no nausea so far. Thank goodness!!!! Kent has to contact his sisters tonight about being a candidate for stem cell transplant. They will have to be tested to see if they are a match with him. The test is just a blood test. They can come down to LDS Hospital to be tested or be tested at a lab where they live and UPS the blood to the hospital here in Salt Lake City. Alison, my daughter, and her husband Jeremy came this weekend and picked up our dog "Kenai". He will be living with them until we are able to come home to Arizona. It sounds like he is adjusting to his new home pretty well. He hasn't been around kids alot and they have two children that will give him a lot of love. I can't think of a better place for him to be at this time. I made her promise that we could have our dog back when this is finished. She said that she didn't want a dog, she wanted a baby. I think after having Kenai for a few days she is deciding that it isn't to bad having a dog again, especially one that is already trained. Kent's eight children at here in the area. We really enjoy having them come to visit. It certainly is the highlight of our day. Also the phone calls are appreciated. Keep in touch!!!!
