Exactly one month and one day from receiving Jaidyn's diagnosis, I am ECSTATIC to announce that her bone marrow shows LESS THAN ONE PERCENT LEUKEMIA!!!
 |
This is the news we needed to get us through, keep our spirits positive and from a medical standpoint continue as "standard risk" Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
Jaidyn's original diagnoses started with her bone marrow showing 67% Leukemia. A fairly high number if you ask me, even higher than my math grades in high school! Dr. Rod told us at our last appointment that they wanted her to be under 5%, and he was confident she would accomplish that. We are so lucky to have such an awesome, kind-hearted, educated Doctor working with us. He knew she could do it, and she surpassed that 5% and showed leukemia who's boss!
If I remember correctly (because there has been a lot of remembering to do on my part the last month) this news puts us into the "remission" category. Awesome news, but unfortunately we're not in the clear yet. We still continue treatment for the next 2 years, but this month will be significantly easier than that last month.
Even though she'll have no clue what I'm saying to her I'm so excited for her to wake up (yes late nap if you note the time) and hug her and tell her the fantastic news. This last month has been the hardest, emotionally strenuous battle for Jaidyn, myself, our family and everyone around us on a daily basis has had to endure. This is what we all needed to hear.
TAKE THAT LEUKEMIA!
