Emerson Update

This is copy and pasted from Emerson's caringbridge site. Great news!!

All things are possible to him who believes. Mark 9:23

Hallelujah!!! The doc called to give us great news! Emerson is in remission!! This puts her in the best risk class, and increases her chances of full recovery to above 90%! She is now in the low risk group for the follow-up chemo, so she will get fewer medications over the next 2.5 years. Praise God! This is an answer to all of our prayers!

And, the test was NEGATIVE, which means that it shows no sign of any cancer! Technically, she would still be in the low risk group if the results came back less than 0.01%. But the test could not pick up ANY cancer cells in her body (although there could still be some lingering about).

Even more good news, she went poopy today! So hopefully her stomach pains will resolve. She has been pretty miserable for a couple of days.

Thank you for your prayers! This was a huge milestone along our path. We pray that God will continue to light our path and give us the strength and conviction to implement His will for our family.

'Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.' Psalm 119:105
