Diagnosis update: Dwayne got taken down early on Friday for the bone marrow biopsy. They thoroughly numbed his lower back area and gave him something in his IV to "calm" him... he fell asleep and didn't realize they had completed it! He said he asked them 3 times if they were sure that it was done!
The doctor who did the procedure said that Dwayne would probably feel like he had backed hard into a table by Saturday. At 4pm on Friday afternoon he is still not feeling pain. He is able to get up and "pole dance" his way to the bathroom without any trouble.
I was hoping we would have definitive results today, but the process of examining the tissue takes 24-48 hours. So, now we are praying for definitive results on Monday.
In the meantime, they plan to provide him with a unit or two of blood to try to improve his hemoglobin.
We appreciate all the prayers and well-wishes. Dwayne is still feeling amazingly well (all the care providers are continually surprised at how well he is doing).
