Thank you!!

Thank you for the prayers and keeping us in your thoughts. It worked!!! After a long day at the hospital, we just got the call. Her leukemia blasts were at 0%. Zero %. Zero Percent. We were hoping for less than five percent, so zero is a dream come true. The chemotherapy is doing what it is supposed to.

We arrived at the hospital at 8 am. They did a few various tests and accessed her port. She didn't even flinch when the nurse put the needle in. Then at about 11 am they did the bone marrow aspiration. Dr French is so great with her and she was under almost complete sedation. We kept saying her name, but she didn't even respond. This is good by me, because then I know that she a) won't remember it and b) won't be in pain.

The Dr decided that her blood counts, primarily hemoglobin, was a little too low. So we had an unexpected delay and she got a blood transfusion too. They say that may perk up her energy level a bit. She also got two more rounds of chemo. Long day and she is completely exhausted.

They let us go about 4pm. Ally couldn't walk out...too tired. On the way home, Jerad and I decided to do one last prayer. We were sitting in the car holding hands, praying for this one last time....please be less than 5%. We literally said Amen and within 5 seconds we got the call. Zero Percent! Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you God.
