Julia's GREAT NEWS!!

3/26/09

Dear friends & family,
I have got some GREAT news! Today is Thursday, and we will be going to Atlanta on Sunday, but...we got a call from the hospital today. They said that I was not having a bone marrow aspirate on Monday, because I already have less than 5% (leukemia cells) in my body (bone marrow sample). And they also changed the appointment from 12:30 to 10:15. We will only be doing blood draws and medicine through the port.
Love,
Julia

PRAISE THE LORD!!! This is the first step of becoming classified as a rapid responder!! Her next bone marrow aspiration will be on day 29, then we will hear results 7 days after. Those results will determine whether she is a rapid responder!! Thanks again for all of your prayers and we will keep you up to date.

Love,
Sharon & Jeff
