Anesthesia Anger

On June 22, 2015 by



I just watched BJ go under anesthesia again….

I can’t even count how many times I’ve been beside him and watched him lose that fight and go to sleep. It never gets easier to stand there and watch that, and then turn away and leave him there while I wait in another room. 

He’s having an LP with intrathecal chemo, and a bone marrow biopsy. Praying for tests to show “MRD negative” …. which would be no evidence (under a microscope) of leukemia in his bone marrow. We should know sometime next week. MRD negative will give him the best chance of beating this stupid disease when he does get his transplant.
