Scan Update: All Clear!

We just finished our clinic appointment with Greta's oncologist. Everything looks great with Greta's scans and lab work! We are officially done with scans! Wow!

Major Milestone :)

Miss G's 5 Year "Birthday"!

Today is Greta's 5 year transplant birthday! 5 years ago today, Greta was in the hospital receiving her first infusion of stem cells. This is a milestone we had thought about for such a long time and now it is here. We are very excited!

Tomorrow we go back to the hospital to have Greta's 5 year scans. She'll have a bone scan and a CT scan. We hope to have the results in a couple days so as soon as we know we will post them.

Otherwise, things are good at the Betz house. Greta celebrated her 7th birthday and is enjoying 1st grade. She tells me she's kind of famous, which I thought she meant because she had been on TV a couple times. But no, she says she's famous because a lot of people at school know who she is. I'm sure they do, she tends to make her presence known!

We had a great Christmas with our families. The kids also got a visitor from their own Elf on the Shelf this year. We finally gave in and asked Santa to send one, so Henry came for a visit. Greta's Christmas was a very One Direction Christmas, with her favorite gift a ticket to see them in concert this August. I will be packing my ear plugs (does that make me sound old?).

Gavin is 10 1/2 and getting so tall. He's starting to look like a young man rather than a little boy. I am still taller than he is, but that day is coming too soon.

Please keep Greta in your prayers tomorrow!
We hope that everyone has a blessed 2014!

The Betz Family
