Our Brave Biopsy Girl

Well she managed to squeak in her bone marrow biopsy today. Almost had to postpone because they forgot and gave her her blood thinner. The pathologist looked at her blood work for the day and said it looked high enough to go ahead. She was so brave and it was done before we knew it. {I didn't even cry this time}. We gave credit to the pathologist for being so gentle but he assured us that it was the morphine. We should have some sort of preliminary report by late today or tomorrow. If her leukemia cells are less than 5% she will be considered to be in remission. We are praying and hoping for the best but are preparing either way. She will still have months of chemo ahead of her either way. Jen is in good spirits and welcomes all of your thoughts and comments as either her dad or I report them back to her nightly. All of Jen's numbers except for her nuetrfils {which are apparently the most important ones, go figure} are all increasing. Her nuetrfills are only down slightly today so we hope they will recover tomorrow. Jen says hi. Please continue to keep her in your prayers. Love the parents
