Praise!

We are praising God for some great news we received yesterday. The doctor called my mom yesterday and told her that she no longer has FLT3!!

I'm not sure if we talked about this in previous posts, but when my mom was admitted to Northwestern at the beginning of all this they told us that my mom's bone marrow showed that she had a couple extra chromosomes, aka FLT3. This was really bad news because they told us it would be harder for her to get into remission and more likely for the leukemia to come back after she was in remission. It also caused the doctors to be more aggressive with mom's case and was a big cause for concern all around.

We didn't know what to expect with the FLT3 besides that we were trusting God with it, and He sure took care of it for us! I said in the last post that my mom was pretty nervous/anxious after our family appointment on Tuesday because they talk about all of the negative things that could happen with the transplant...well then mom received the call yesterday that the FLT3 was gone. She said it was just another confirmation that God's in control!! Praise Him!
