2 Years?!?

Yesterday marks two years from when Greta was admited to the hospital to begin her chemo and stem cell rescue. In some ways it feels like a very long time ago, and others not quite long enough. Two days ago the new Helen DeVos Children's Hospital opened. It looks like its a beautiful new facility and when Gavin saw pictures of it he said it looks like a fun place to go. We're so excited that the kids and staff have such a fun place to be for treatment and to work. It looks amazing. We just hope we never have to sleep there!

We will be getting a chance to see if first hand in two week two weeks when Greta goes in for her bone and CT scans. Luckily, we will only be there for the day. This will be her first scan in 6 months, the longest span between scans yet. It's a nice break, but it's a little nice to have the reassurance more often that she is still healthy. So please keep us in your prayers that we get good results once again. This will be her first scan that whe won't have to fast for, now that we know she can handle sitting still without sedation. So we'll be able to check out the new cafeteria too.

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Years. We had a great holiday and the kids both said it was the best one ever. We are mindful of all the families for whom this may have been a very hard Christmas and we keep them in our thoughts and prayers. We are also asking for prayers for Greta's Great Grandpa Ray who is in a lot of discomfort due to his cancer, we ask that you pray for his pain to lessen and for him to have peace.

Thank you,
The Betz Family
