Scans up next

Greta had her clinic day on Friday and her counts are all back up again, so she is bouncing back from this round very well, and no transfusions were required. Now we are eagerly looking forward to her CT and Bone scans which will take place on Tuesday. The results of these scans will determine when she'll next have chemo, or possibly even surgery. Needless to say, our anxiety level is high - but so are our hopes!

Because her condition is so rare, we decided that we should seek another opinion from the specialists at Cincinnati Children's Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio. We have an appointment on the 23rd of this month to meet with doctors there for a second opinion on Greta's course of treatment. Although we are thrilled with the success we have seen throughout Greta's treatment thus far at DeVos Children's Hospital, and have every confidence in her physicians here, we feel we should make every effort to be as informed as possible as to what our options are for the second phase of Greta's healing. The wonderful staff at DeVos have been very supportive of our desire to hear what suggestions the doctors in Cincinnati have to offer.

We ask that you please continue to pray for Greta's healing and for guidance for her parents and her doctors in making good decisions in her best interest.

Thank you!
