Hey everybody..... BJ went back to UAB on Wednesday for a follow-up and I wanted to let you know how it went. He said this trip was fairly uneventful and almost everything seemed to where they expected. The only thing out of line were his liver enzymes. They were a little high, so the doctors cut back one of his medications. Apparently one side-effect of taking this particular medication for a long period of time is the it increases those enzymes. Hopefully, cutting back that medication will remedy that situation.

On BJ's next trip to UAB (two weeks from now) they will be doing another bone marrow test, so that visit will be much more informative than this last one. Everybody keep him in thoughts going into that visit because, I'm sure they make him a little more nervous because of the magnitude of the results of that test.

BJ said everything else was going well right now. So, everybody pray for continued good results and I will talk to you soon.
