Great News

We received great news we today...my mom's bone marrow is still clean!! They did the bone marrow test on Thursday and just received the results about a half hour ago. Amy called to tell me and I could hear my mom in the background talking/crying to my dad about how happy she is! Praise the Lord for this wonderful blessing!

And now onto the last phase...

We'll be up at Northwestern tomorrow for the family stem cell meeting. They're going to walk us through what it involves and answer any questions we have. Then, mom will go into the hospital later this week to do the stem cell transplant. We think she'll be in there for about 3-5 weeks if everything goes according to plan.

Please pray for this next battle that our mom is about to take on! Love you all.

  8. ALLELUIA!!! I am so happy for you, Mary. I told you that you were one strong girl. You fought this one and won - - remember what I told you last week - F-I-GHT! (see that cheerleading paid off!)
    It sounds like Northwestern is taking very good care of you and that you are evidently in the right place.
    I will be praying for you and Jack.
    Love,
    Jill

  13. Good morning to all! God is good - He is good ALL the time! After reading all the comments this morning, I'm weeping and overwhelmed by how God's love is being felt through friends and family, old and new. May I take this space to tell you I'm so thankful for the body of Christ and the encouraging words and prayers you send for my sister. Keep pressing in for this portion of the battle; fear and doubt try to enter in and we want no part of it! God is faithful and we want our eyes fixed upon Him!
    "Yet will He bring darkness to light; yet will He bring day from night....."!
    Blessings to you,
    Love, Sue
