Eli got released from the hospital this morning. Since we have oxygen and the monitor at home they felt we would be okay to go home. They diagnosed him with pneumonia and prescribed him an antibiotic.
On the drive home I got a call from his Oncologist. He called to tell me that he found a medical trial that he could join. The medication is called Gleevec and we will have to travel to Indiana for our initial visit and treatment, then the rest of the treatments can be done in Texas. The amazing part is that I have family in Indiana so staying there for a week or even several weeks won't be an issue. Out of all the states to find a trial to put him in Indiana is perfect! We still have to be officially accepted though. His doctor is going to send them Eli's medical records and MRI's so that they can take his case before their board to make the decision on if he can be in the trial for this medication. I am over the moon excited and hopeful that they will say yes.
