Good News & Great News

Good News is Jack is holding true to form and baffled another Doctor. Dr. Bunin says she retiring now, Jack has done her in. Great News is we got the results of the VNTR (what it stands for I don't know). But it the test that tells what percentage are Jack's cells and what percentage are the donor cells. Now if you remember the throw a Hail Mary Blog from 4/19/06, I said that the last VNTR was 1/3 donor cells & 2/3 Jack's cells.
I guess all of you have been saying your prayers, knocking on wood, and walking around with your fingers crossed because it's is working. I bet you can't wait for me to tell you the answer? I will, but you have to keep doing all of the above. We are able to see the clearing through the trees. But where not out of the woods yet.
95% DONOR CELLS 5% JACK'S CELLS YES YOU READ IT RIGHT 95% DONOR 5% JACK. YIPPEE, YAHOO, HOORAY. I was almost speechless when Charlotte told me. Thank the Lord above, and Thank you all for the prayers, the knocking and the crossing. Please keep it up. Lets pray for 100% and no set backs. Jack is like that old commercial "we will sell no wine before it's time". He must have himself confused or something. He has his own playbook and is going to call everyone of them before he's through.
So our next trick is to persuade Dr. Bunin to stay on for a little while longer. She has see Jack through till the end. I think if we can get Jack to smile at her and ask her nicely she might stay. We need to get to 100 cells on one slide and not require platlets for 2 or more days and then we might be able to get paroled to the halfway house (the apartment), then go for every other day for check ups. After that homeward bound
Way to go Jackie boy!!!!!! Keep it up
