PET Scan Results

Negative for cancer!

We're reeling a little from the results of Greta's PET scan. Doctors tell us that the scan shows no indication of cancer in her little body! It is likely that they will continue with chemotherapy, to finish the course she's on, and once that's complete, possibly do exploratory surgery to take tissue biopsies for further testing; but the incredible PET scan results tell them there is no immediate need to radiate or operate.

Can you believe it?! So many have asked for a miracle on our behalf, and here it is! We're quietly celebrating here; Greta commemorated the moment by having a nap on the floor of her hospital room, Mommy and Daddy did a low-key but joyful end-zone dance - and the rest of us are pinching ourselves.

We're thrilled! Thank you, everyone, for your prayers! What an awesome day!!!

Greta and family should probably be home Sunday or Monday, they can't wait to enjoy sharing this great news with friends & family!!!

Love to all,
(A VERY RELIEVED) Kari :)
