The best news for Dad is that he's home for the night. His first task was a 2 hour nap, sleeping at home is much more peaceful than the constant interruptions at the hospital.
This evening, Dad got the results from the spinal tap. The spinal fluid does contain leukemia.
At the moment, we don't know the details. The neurosurgeon will meet with Dad tomorrow before the Saturday chemo treatment. Good news is that this week's chemo treatment does penetrate into the spinal fluid, the initial treatment did not. The doctors did mention the are going to treat this cancer aggressively.
Dad took the news in stride. He said a backlash from the leukemia was not surprising because of how sick he felt. He's still fighting.

It is good to know that Bill is more aware of his body - maybe he will learn not to put on the happy face. Knowing your enemy is always best. I am sure he is glad to be home - a good night's sleep always helps.
Our thoughts are always with all of you.
Love, prayers, and good health,
Gail, Marty, and Mom
