Bone Marrow Results - Hooray!

More good news!

Greta's bone marrow test came back clean - this is fantastic news. Thanks, again, for all of the prayers and hope and encouragement.

Chemotherapy was started at 3pm today - the next 48 hours are critical, in terms of how her body will respond to the medications. Will update again when there's news.

This is great news...Randy said last night that it was their turn for some good news, and I am so glad that they got what they so desperately needed! The road to recovery begins here; I have every confidence that Greta is going to fight this and prove to everyone what a tough little girl she is!

Everytime I think of Greta, which is many times during the day, I say a little prayer for her. I'm convinced God is listening.

Give her a hug from North Carolina and know that we love her and are constantly thinking of her.

Just can't stop thinking about all of you and wondering how our little friend is doing. We continue to pray that she responds well to the chemo so that she is well soon to come over to the "garage." Take care and let us know if you need anything. God bless you all through this trying time.
Love, Jocelyn and boys
