Third biopsy tomorrow

We head in to MGH again tomorrow (Thursday, 10/05) for Max's third bone marrow biopsy. The first test gave us a baseline, and the second test showed an increase in cellular activity. (Activity was up from 20% to 50% between those two tests.) Subsequent CBC's show his number declining though, contrary to what was expected based on the second biopsy. So back we go for another sample and another set of numbers. The sample they take tomorrow needs to soak for 24hrs before processing, so we won't have the results until Friday at the earliest. There is a lot of waiting involved in this process, and nothing happens quickly enough.
