and Greta is cancer free! The scan reports show no sign of disease in either scan. We are elated! We were pretty sure the results would be good, but we're relieved that she is holding strong. How amazing she is! Greta will now be rewarded with a whole month without any blood draws, all things remaining the same. What a nice break for her.
Thanks to everyone who prayed for Greta and her family and for all the support!

Now We Wait...
Greta had her scans today, it was a very long day. We arrived at the hospital at 8:30 and Greta had her IV started and her injection for her bone scan and then we had 3 hours to wait until her scans. So we went up to the 7th floor to visit all of the doctors and nurses and got to show them how great Greta looks. Greta did great considering she'd had nothing to eat since the night before. We were on our way home by 3pm. Now we have to wait a couple days to hear the results.
We are asking that you pray for Rosie's family, as we are saddened to hear that Rosie's long battle ended last night. Greta and Rosie used to do laps together around the halls, Rosie in her wagon and Greta on her IV pole. Our hearts are breaking for her family.
Love,
The Betz Family

Scans This Week
Greta had another check up on Friday at the clinic. Her counts are still staying nice and high. She had had an ear infection a few weeks prior and the fact that she was able to keep her platelets high even after an infection was a good sign.
Wednesday Greta has her CT and Bone Scans. We are a little anxious for the scans. This will be the first scans since she reached her 100 day mark and it will be almost 7 months since her last chemo treatment. So we are a praying that the results continue to show no signs of any cancer. We're asking you too to pray for Greta this week!
We had a great time at the cottage last week. Greta absolutely is a water baby. She could spend the whole time playing in the water, the sand box, or throwing rocks into the lake. One day she wanted to be in the water so badly we stripped her down to her birthday suit! It was a wonderful time for our family and we really enjoyed our time together.
We're hoping to get scan results by Friday so we'll be hopefully able to post the good news right away!
With love,
