Hi everyone! Quick update tonight and GREAT news: dad's recent bone marrow biopsy came back clear of any Leukemia!! His appointment with Dr. Ramakrishnan late this afternoon at UT Southwestern may be the last one in Dallas for a while (until May at least). They gave him the all-clear to return home to New Mexico this Friday, Feb. 14th. 

I bought him a one-way plane ticket home and thanks to my wonderful aunt and family here in Albuquerque, they've worked really hard to get dad's house super clean and ready for him to move back into his own home. This was a lot of work in itself since dad is very much a bachelor lol and his house hasn't been fully lived in since he left for Dallas back in October. 

Lots of changes coming soon, but they're all good and we're so happy dad can finally come home. Doctors are working to make sure the team here at UNMH in Albuquerque has all the medical info they need to take over care. As I mentioned before, dad will still have to travel back to Dallas every now and then for check-ups and tests that they can't perform in New Mexico. He'll still have to be careful and be limited in what he can do/exposure since his immune system is still very young and low. 

But we're so thankful to have made it this far. He's working on packing up to check out of the apartment on Friday morning. Caregiver Sam will drop him off at the airport. Sam hasn't taken a day off this entire time (even though his boss offered to fill-in when needed) and we are super grateful to him as well. 

Thanks always for all of your prayers and support. xoxo
