Just wanted to let everyone know that Daegen's Bone Marrow Aspiration results came back and they show that Daegen has relapsed.  The plan of action has not been decided on yet.  I will let everyone know when that is determined.  Please continue to pray for Daegen and also for Alexa and Janelle.

I wanted to let you know a couple of things.  First, in my last e-mail, I messed up the website address.  It is www.dmanhero.com.  Secondly, Daegen
is currently back at KU Med.  We had to take him to the Stormont Vail Emergency room on Tuesday night.  Starting around 4:30 Daegen was complaining about his stomach hurting.  I called KU and we tried giving Daegen some Prevacid.  It did not work.  At about 7:00 I called KU back and they told me to take him to the emergency room.  After about three hours at Stormont Vail, we were sent to KU.  While at Stormont Vail, I had to request the doctors give Daegen some morphine for the pain.  It works amazingly fast.  The pain was mostly gone for Wednesday but he did have some morphine around naptime because Daegen was complaining about it hurting again.  He started having a low-grade fever, around 100.7.  The doctors have ordered a lot of labs, some from his Hickman and some he has to be poked.  Dr. Smith moved up Daegen's Bone Marrow Aspiration from July to today at 8:30 a.m.  His platelet count was dropping at his Monday appointment and by Tuesday it had dropped again.  That could be because of several things.  The Bone Marrow Aspiration will let us know if he is still in remission or not and if he has the marker for leukemia or if he has any of the bone marrow that was transplanted.  I am not sure how long we will have to wait to find out the results.  At this point, we are still going ahead with Daegen's party on Saturday, July 03, 2004 at our house.  That can change based on the results of today's test.  If all is okay, then the party is on for Saturday, July 03, 2004.  If the results are not all okay, then Janelle and I will have to talk with the doctors to find out the next course of action, probably starting all over again with chemotherapy.  The doctors have not given Janelle or I any indication that Daegen is relapsing, that is me just being scared.  As soon as we know anything, I will try to get the information out to everyone.  Thank you for all your prayers and God Bless everyone.
