Ryan was able to come home today. I picked him up around 11 and then we went to my parents to have lunch with our family. Ryan has napped pretty much all day and he is a little sore from the bone marrow biopsy they did the other day, but otherwise he is doing well.
He has some bloodwork and an appointment with Dr. Marinella tomorrow morning and then we head to Columbus again on Tuesday for the final tests and meetings before we head there for admission. There are still many things to be taken care of this week.
I ask for prayers for strength for both of us - Ryan physical strength because he needs to build up as much as he can before the radiation and chemotherapy begin again. Me for physical and spiritual strength because there are many things to do this week and we have our "normal" lives to live as well. I plan to head to bed early each night this week because I believe the days will be long and full of activities.

We continue to pray for you guys daily. I'm sure the road ahead feels scary, but you're putting your trust in the right place. You're in the hands of the Great Physician, and he will walk you through.
