Hey everyone....I wanted to update you all on the last few days events. BJ was back at UAB last Thursday for the MRI that I mentioned in the last post. He said it was quite a long day because there was an emergency MRI that had to be done before his, so he at UAB most of the day. They told him they would have the results back this week when he went in for his visit.

Sunday, I had the chance to go down to Tuscaloosa and play some golf with BJ. BJ played the best round of his life, which was enough to beat me. He looked great and is in good shape. His hair is growing back in, which he seemed pretty excited by. It was a perfect day outside for BJ. The sky was really overcast, so he didn't have to worry about coating on the sunscreen. I'm looking forward to getting in another round soon.

BJ went back to UAB Monday for his follow-up and to get the results from his MRI. They didn't put too much emphasis on his counts or blood results during this trip. They did reduce some of his medications which led BJ and Mrs. Green to believe that all of those results were good. They told BJ that they want him to come back Thursday for another MRI of his lower back. This is all in an effort to figure out what is causing the tingling he has been experiencing in his legs. They have the results from his head and upper back, but feel like they need to see the lower back to figure it out. Obviously, this was a little frustrating for BJ because he was under the impression that they had done all of the MRI's last Thursday. So, he should have some results by the first of the week.

I should have a lot more information next week regarding BJ's counts and the results from this next MRI. Check back in then. As always, if anything happens between now and then, I will let you know.
