That is SOOOO awesome!! I`m glad to hear she`s in remission! Did the Hospital/Dr`s inquire if you want to put her in a clinical trial? If so you might want to look into it because paitents that are in clinical trials recieve more scrutiny as far as their progress,etc. Here is a few links one of the nurses at the hospital gave me, they have a TON of good info.

What fantastic news!!!!
Lil Abigail has been in our prayers since you told us what was going on. And the clinical studies do monitor the progress with scrutiny that might not normally happen with typical medicinal treatments.
Yes this is a true blessing. It really makes us step back and reevaluate what really is important in our lives.

I'm just so stinkin happy I can't stand it.

News today was not as good as we were hoping. The Minimal Residual Disease, which is what they gauge what treatment you will receive after the first stage, was between .1 and 1%. Which means she has to have a more agressive treatment therapy than what we were hoping for. She's going to lose the rest of her hair, has to take more medicine, we're giving her shots at home through the port they put in her when we first went into the hospital with this. Will have to have a spinal tap every week for the next month. She's still beating it, just not by as much as we were hoping for. She's in pretty good spirits, and we appreciate all the support from everbody on here.

for the past couple of days from the PEG Asparaginase shots he had on tuesday but he takes it like a trooper...ups and downs. I think of you and you duaghter often, even tho we`ve never met I feel for you guy`s. Take it one day at a time is all I can offer. As always you`ll be in my thoughts and prayers.

IA James: Nancy & I remember Abigail and your family in our prayers everyday. She is not forgotten. You might let her know that we are all praying for her and that she is going to get better. Hang in there I know the fight is tough and the emotional aspect is grueling and incredibly tiring.

James,The light of God surrounds her. The love of God enfolds her. The power of God protects her. The presence of God watches over her, and wherever she is, God is, and all is well.
Focus on the progress and give thanks. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
