Back at Northwestern

Well, were back in Chicago..............Same hospital new room........#1587.

Arrived at Northwestern at 8 this morning. Had only one procedure today. Spinal tap was performed to check spinal fluid for any abnormal leukemic cells. A couple hours later the Dr. called from the pathology lab and said that her spinal fluid was clean. They saw no abnormal cells. Praise God! Now she is clear to start Chemo tomorrow morning.

Spent the day resting and walking.

Now we ask for continued prayer as she starts the chemo. Pray for strength, peace, and minimal side effects.

We know that Jesus will be with her every step of this journey!

Thanks,
Amy
