No leukemia cells to be found! YAY!
That's part one of getting into remission. So what we're hoping for from next week's bone marrow biopsy is that there are still no leukemia cells to be found AND that healthy cells are growing back in place of the leukemia. Right now, his bone marrow is essentially really empty - lots of the good and bad cells are dead, so we want to see healthy cells growing back in place.
We couldn't have asked for better news! That tells us that he's on the right track, that things are going as expected, and it's one of the first signs to indicate that Jonathon will hopefully NOT need a bone marrow transplant.So tonight is definitely reason for another Snoopy dance. :)
God is so good! He performs His greatess when two or more are gather together and ask in His name. Jonathon, we will keep praying until you get the annoncement that you are totally free of leukemia and back to work! Then we will still pray just because! :-) Take this time to get lots of rest and catch up on those things you never are able to get to. Like your wonderful art work. Katie and Peggy you take a little break yourselves and remember to enjoy the good things in life. Becky
