Look at the party going on here! Today (Friday) they are doing another bone marrow sample. The needle that's blue on one end and green on the other is the one they poke through the bone to the bone marrow, then stick the others in the center of the blue one and extract the bone marrow.
Here are the slides they place the samples on. There were 9 slides all together. That's a lot of samples!
The procedure went well (better than the IV did). The nurse started an IV, but drew blood instead... lots of blood. She stuck the other hand and got it, but hit a nerve when she did. Mom felt a shooting pain down her middle finger every time she bumped it... luckily the nurse didn't ask to see what finger, mom would probably of shown her!
We should have the results Monday. Dr. Jeong says he's "100% confident it will come back free of cancer cells." But he would like to make sure. Cross your fingers!
