Starting Next Phase in Treatment.

We were able to get the study signed, and they randomized him....
PTL, he's not going to have to have the extra PEG shots!! I'm so thankful.

The next few months are still going to be pretty rough, but I know the Lord is going to bring us through.
I'm going to make up a calendar, so it's easier to see where he is in his treament.

We're still going to have to pray about his counts, and side effects, and fevers.
Some of the chemos in his treatment drive ANC counts down, so we'll still have to be really careful, when his counts are down.

Results from Thursday

I just got off the phone with Gabey's nurse practitioner, Denise Davis, and she read the results from the bone marrow, and it said.....

NO leukemia cells found!!!

We have to run up to sign a consent form that they didn't realize we had to do. So, we'll know after that what his treatment randomized at.

Can't Praise the Lord LOUD ENOUGH!!

I am so excited to be able to share this miracle news!!
Our beautiful nurse called today, and shared the results from the bone marrow test from Thursday, and......

It was less thannnnnn.......

1%

That means that the chemo has already kicked out almost ALL the leukemia blasts!!!!!
This is so much more than just good news! This is the best answer to our prayer that God could have given us. What an unspeakable gift! God is so GOOD!!

Now, Gabey doesn't have to get the test done again this thursday, and if things keep up this way, he'll be termed as a RER a rapid early responder!!

Blessing for Today!!

We got a call from Dr. Gowans this morning, and she told us the results from the spinal puncture. His spinal fluids are still CLEAR!! Praise the Lord!
We asked about the results for the bone marrow tests, and she said she'd have to call back tomorrow about those. So, pray that they find VERY FEW cells left!!

Dear Lord, please let this chemo destroy the lymphoblasts that are crowding out the good cells in Gabey's body. We LOVE you, and trust your power, and your Will.
Amen
