This week Caleb will finish the 2nd round of treatment. Thankfully, all has gone well with just a couple of minor bouts with a fever and infection. Caleb's labs continue to show no cancer cells in his spinal fluid and the doctors have termed him to be in remission.
We've asked you to pray about the next treatment, which is the traditional treatment for Caleb's form of Leukemia-that is the bone marrow transplant. We'd hope to avoid this risky procedure-but, since Caleb has a match, the doctor's seem to want to play it safe and go through with the transplant. I know that statement seems contradictory-but the traditional way to heal the Philadelphia form of Leukemia is the Bone Marrow Transplant. We've shared to you that Caleb is being treated with a new medicine that has only been used for three years for the Philly Leukemia. Our doctor is recommending the BMT. Please pray for us as we take care of the details of this next "great big hill" for Caleb. We had planned to do this in LA-but our insurance may force us to go to Phoenix. Although, we have some great support in Phoenix, Sarah has a host of Aunts and cousins in LA that would be a huge support. We need wisdom and prayer to make the right decisions for this.
In other Evins news-our girls will be going to Camp Ironwood with 17 other young people on Monday, June 11th. That number is a bit large for our church to organize. We need God's help to get them to camp safely and back. Although, Caleb won't be able to be a camper-he will be going to stay a couple of nights. I know his prayer is that the several friends that will be campers will get to know God better next week. Pray that Caleb will have a strong week, be able to be at Ironwood as much as possible, and get his treatments in between.;) Thanks for all your prayers!
