Exciting News!

We received a call from the nurse yesterday to report the biopsy findings. She said the specimen was "less than perfect" meaning the Dr who drew it didn't get enough to make the pathologist happy. BUT good news is what he was able to see was that her bone marrow is starting to function more than it was 5 weeks ago! Her cellularity was around 10-15% 5 weeks ago and now it is over 25%. They classified it as moderate which I believe means she is no longer severe aplastic anemic. Also the cells all appeared normal in size and shape and no leukemia blasts were present! WOHOOOOOOOOOO!!! The Lord is answering our prayers.

The Dr cancelled treatment for now to observe Addison a little longer to see if she will heal completely on her own. We are still seeking a second opinion but at least we can rest a little easier at night know her strong little body is fighting hard to get back to normal. She is still not better but looks like we are on the right path. I am not sure if this even a normal occurrence or one of God's many miracle's?! We will find out more Monday when we meet with Dr. face to face and go over results and plan of action.

We continue to pray and ask for your prayers for a complete recovery of Addison. You all are greatly appreciated!
