Randy discussed Greta's treatment with her Oncologist on Tuesday and it looks as though we'll be doing the stem cell transplant in about 8 weeks. For those of you counting, that would put us in the hospital most likely during Christmas. Although not ideal, we know it would be just one Christmas and we could get Greta all better by early 2009.
The transplant doctor would first need to evaluate Greta's health to make sure she is a good candidate for transplant. We're not sure yet what that entails, but based on her health so far, we don't anticipate it will be a problem. We'll meet with the transplant doctor this coming Thursday when we bring Greta in for her next chemo admission.
Once again she is doing great, up and running and playing. Greta is spending the weekend in Clarkston at Grammy and Opa's house with Mommy, Gavin, Aunt Kari and cousin Aidan. Daddy is spending a weekend home alone so he's probably enjoying his peace and quiet!
Our hearts go out to the family of Jose who lost his valiant 10 year battle with cancer this week. We are so saddened to hear of their loss. He is such a happy spirit, he was always smiling and listening to music when we passed by his room. Our prayers are for his family and friends this week.
With love,
The Betz Family

Love,

Hope you had a wonderful time with Opa and Grammy this past weekend! We continue to pray for Greta and her doctor's, as well as your family, as you await treatment options/choices. God will watch over you all as Greta continues to heal! Let's get ready to to celebrate birthday #2!! Let us know if you need anything and I will try to stop by the hospital this weekend!
Love, The Tuori's
PS- Love the hair girly!
Greta looks wonderful from the pictures, she does not look like a patient at all. Waiting is probably one of the most difficult parts, we just have to pray for the best. But I am sure she will recover with Betz family's love and kisses. There are many things in life we do not know such as "why is this happening to me"... but you guys never show negative, always sheerful, always try your best to bring up good news, you are so brave and respectable. You are always in my thoughts and prayers - and I know there are many people like me who are praying for Greta. Take care !
