Kortney underwent her third full day of chemotherapy today. She has experienced some of the side effects that come from the chemo yet her spirits are high and she is keeping everyone entertained. Today, she had some lab work done. The RNA test that was done could not show ANY sign of the CML!!! The high white blood cell count that Kortney originally entered the hospital with has been decimated by the chemo and is down by about half. Because the RNA did not show any CML, a DNA test was done and the results will take somewhere around seven days. We need to keep praying and believing that the CML is eradicated in Kortney's DNA. If so, her diagnosis will revert to ALL, Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. ALL has a higher success rate of remission. This is excellent news and we are excited about what God is doing so far. The miracle is in progress! We just need to keep praying!!

Hi again Kortney,
ReplyDeleteWe continue to pray for your recovery and for your family. I hope you are feeling better today, and continue to do so. You are constantly in our thoughts and prayers. I haven't told Erik yet as he is in basic training still and i want to wait until a week from Thursday to tell him. By then who knows what positive news i will get to tell him? We will be seeing him then. Please have one of your parents contact me so i can get an address to give to Erik. I don't think he will have his computer for quite some time but will be able to write. Take care sweetie, and i'll talk to you soon Love, Cousin Lorie
