Biopsy Results

So sorry I've been so late in updating.

Last Monday, Laura went to the doctor to find out the results of her bone marrow biopsy.What she found out was that, from all they can tell, she is CANCER FREE!! (That sounds sweet, doesn't it?!) They also took her off the steroid that she's been on. She'll remain off of that until and unless they find a reason to start again.

She's been taking an anti-fungal medicine (I'm not exactly sure why) that costs a million dollars (slight exaggeration) which she no longer has to take.

Other news:

• All of her numbers look good.
• She only has to go to the doctor once a month now.
• Her bone density test showed that she has NO SIGNS of osteoporosis (which is pretty doggone good!).
• She is still not allowed to dig or plant in the dirt.
• She is still on immune suppressants until they decide she no longer needs it.
• And, it looks like she now totally has A+ blood type. (Isn't that interesting? When she got the bone marrow transplant, her blood type changed.)

She's been staying very busy, which I think she enjoys -- riding bikes, starring in a community play (well, perhaps not the lead role, but I've heard she was excellent!), teaching, spinning, church activities, birthday celebrations, and much, much more.

She is definitely an inspiration!
And, I love her.
So thankful for the good news.
And, so thankful for all of you who love her, too.
