An Update on Beth: Remission!

Today Dr. Boulad called with the results of Beth's latest bone marrow biopsy:

• Her bone marrow is 100% donor.  The doctor called it "pristine".  In other words, there is no evidence of any leukemia cells.


• There are no chromosome abnormalities in her marrow.  Chromosome abnormalities are part of the Fanconi Anemia disorder that leads to bone marrow failure.


• Beth is now in "remission" from leukemia.

We are so thankful and humbled for this grace from God!

Prayer Requests:

• Continue to pray for Beth's immune system to strengthen and develop.
  
  
  
  • Specifically, pray for T-cells and B-cells (2 specific types of while blood cells).  These are the last cells to develop after transplant and critical to immune function.  They typically first appear about 3-5 months after transplant.
  
  
  
  


• Pray for protection against Graft Vs. Host Disease and infections.


• Pray for our friend Edwin.
