Yesterday I met with the doc in Michigan to discuss the results of my Bone Marrow Biopsy that was performed last Monday. At this point there’s still Leukemia present and Chemotherapy will need to be continued. The plan in to have me undergo a round of Chemotherapy called the FLAG regiment starting next monday, this will continue for the entire week and on the last day, which will be friday I will be admitted to the hospital again. There I will stay to recover from the chemotherapy and once my blood counts are stable and I’m no longer transfusion and antibiotic dependent I will be able to return home. Once I return home we will schedule another Bone Marrow Biopsy to see where I am once again. The Chemotherapy treatments will be 4 hours a day for 5 days and then I will be admitted to the hospital to recover for 2-3 weeks, assuming everything goes accordingly.

The situation for Wes and his family is not good. Wes' only chance is to receive newly-developed treatments in the United States. With no out-of-country insurance, the Laporte family are reaching out to the community to aid funding, and to ultimately save their son's life.
