What a wonderful day! Greta's doctors have given us the "thumbs up": as hoped, her tumor has further reduced, and her bone scan has come back clean again!
We had a slight change of plans yesterday, during Greta's scans her broviac sprung a leak which the doctors were able to repair quickly. However that means an automatic stay in the hospital and 24 hours of antibiotics. So she's staying in the hospital through the rest of this week. The upside is that her 6th round of chemotherapy which was scheduled to begin Thursday has moved up by one day to start today. This morning Greta was giggling, blowing kisses and flirting with the hospital staff, while enjoying Cheerios, bacon, and some cuddles with Mommy & Daddy. What a little star!
Kristi and Randy anticipate that they'll probably be home by Sunday evening, so the Betzes will be able to catch a few nights under their own roof before heading to Cincinnati. The timing for their trip has worked out really well in relation to her treatments, and going there with "fresh" scan results will be a big help to the doctors in Ohio.
It's a beautiful day! Our thanks from Greta and her family to all of you who have been sending your prayers and notes of support, and who have so dilligently kept up with her progress. Hearing from all of you has strengthened our faith and given us so much comfort; we can't find words to let you know how grateful we are. Please continue to pray for her, for her doctors, and for her loved ones - obviously, it's working!
Did I mention what a great day it is?
Love,
Kari

That is awesome news! We are SOOOO happy to hear the progress. The prayers are working and God is taking care of sweet little Greta. We wish you the best while you're in Cincinnati. Have a safe trip if we don't see you. Is there anything we can do to help out while you're gone?

Keep on keepin' on Greta!!
I think it's awesome that you are looking for a second opinion. She's the only Greta you have and you are doing everything you can for her.
I'll be praying for traveling mercies in addition to all the other prayers I've been sending up for little Ms. Greta.
Lots of love,
Jodi Porraz
